This on the Stuff link rollercoaster.

I am stunned that people actually get sucked into Nigerian scams.

Unbelievable...

A 70-year old retired woman and her 46-year old son have both been sucked in to the tune of $200k between them and they just sent another $10k as a "bank fee" for the Central Nigerian Bank to "recover their money".  The woman "fervently trusts the Nigerian bank's spokesman to retrieve some, if not all, of their money by a December 20 deadline".  Yeah, right.

When will people ever learn?
