My views are my own and do not reflect those of everyone else... and I wouldn't have it any other way.

My biggest regret is that Joe-Boy did not pursue my suggestion to send the "Hong Kong Lawyer" who contacted him all on a tour of Chinatowns around the world to get signatures to sponsor his bid for membership in the Hong Kong Country Club.

Years ago, I got the Nigerian letter via snail mail. That's kicking it old school.

The part about these scams that makes me the angriest is that the people who do fall for them are most likely poor and desperate already.

I've read a few of these back and forths on the link provided... and I laughed and laughed and laughed.

I haven't chuckled like that in a long time.

I highly recommend the "Busted" one the Archive Letters page. Brilliant.
