Re: Ore. woman falls for 'Nigerian scam,' speaks out

Re: Ore. woman falls for 'Nigerian scam,' speaks out
Her family and bank officials both tried to warn her...just because she said she wasn't a sucker doesn't make the statement true. She clearly was an easy mark for falling so completely for this well known scam.

Re: Ore. woman falls for 'Nigerian scam,' speaks out
I used to reply to these. I would start out by saying what a stupid (insert explitives to make sailor blush).
I would then say...if you are going to run a scam you should at least have a good working knowledge of the english language. Why don't you spend all this spare time you seem to have by going back to school, and this time try paying attention.... Cathy, trying to save the world, one scammer at a time roflmao
