I just have a stupid question. How many people actually fall for the Nigerian $75 Million Dollar Scam? I figure its the same thing as junk mail. You get junk mail all day long and you wonder how many people actually buy the shit they're selling. I heard some statistic a month ago about how well spammers actually do. So then i have to ask... how many people fall for the Nigerian thing. I don't get em often, but i do get them. Every once in awhile i go through the junk box of my email and look at all the shit my filter has pulled out, and almost every time theres one of these in there.

I am Barrister Fred Oladipo, i represent Mohammed
Abacha, son of the late gen. Sani Abacha, who was the
former military head of state in Nigeria, he died in
1998. Since his death, the family has been losing a
lot of money due to vindictive government officials
who are bent on dealing with the family, based on this
therefore, the family has asked me to seek for a
foreign partner who can work with us as to move out
the total sum of us$75,000,000.00 ( seventy five
million united states dollars ), presently in their
possession.

I just feel fuckin sorry for the poor sap that actually will send all their personal information as well as their bank account numbers thinking that somebody is going to actually just send them FREE MONEY. Does anybody out there know how many people this has nailed?
