Dear sir, my name is Natacha and I would like to marry you

    There really are people who still fall for those African scams? Really?

    I remember keeping a file of those scams for a boss of mine back in the 70's, when they were mail-based. It's amazing how long such things can keep working. And it's even more amazing that they keep working on the internet, where information is so freely traded.

    I guess there will always be people eager to be skinned.
