If the idiots who think up these scams would use their imaginations for something positive this world would be a much better place. One question here, if the Nigerians have all this money to throw away, why not use it to fix the problems in their own country? I get this nonsense at home and at work (I always report the ones that come to the office)

Why does it continue? The scammers know that some people will fall for anything!
