Funny scams
Ok, once again I get another one of those funny scams. You know the kind “Hi, My name is blah blah, I’m with the government of some obscure african county, we need to send off millions of dollars, what is your account number.” I will admit they are getting a letter better (spelling issues are getting better at least), and the stories are getting, well, funnier. So now I include the one I most recently received.
