I think it was P.T. Barnum that said there was a sucker born every min. or somthing like that. I have seen this scam posted on other lists and myself have recieved a bunch of them Mumbo Mumbutoo Nigerial money scam offers too. The truth is there are people that are greedy and also stupid that will fall for crap like this.
