The Nigerian government has decided it's time to clamp down on the fraudsters now using email to try to rip people off. How? They've asked Microsoft to help. So that'll be ok then

Meestor [livejournal.com profile] mapp, have you heard anything back from your bloke? I can remember the day when they only managed to pull the scam off by posting actual letters to real businesses. Bloody internet, everyone that gets one for the first time thinks it's some great new thing to discuss. I opened up a letter with one attempt in over ten years ago y'bastards.
