"Police estimate that every year, US citizens alone are conned out of some $200m."

Laughter alone isn't sufficient.

Yea, I was thinking of extra guffaws and knee-slaps. These people should be found and deported. We have enough stupid people in this country, we don't need the ultra-stupid.

The biggest problem I have is that these people shouldn't be played with, they should be arrested.

Yes, they should, but who's going to do this? The US?

Yeah, I loved the "Mr. Plundermynuts" one. :D

Still, this isn't anywhere near as funny as the P-P-Powerbook ebay scam. :)

I don't read 419eater's stories much... I did read the one where they scammed the guy out of $40, and a couple others. But mostly I like the gallery.

It's amazing how many stupid things you can get people photographing themselves doing for the promise of money.

The guy e-mailed him a trojan horse, and that was the end of it.
