">My Big World Of Crap

According to police, Australians are losing $36m a year to Nigerian scammers.  And the problem is more extensive than that, because similar frauds are going through other countries.  The police say they struggle to get a handle on the issue because many incidents went unreported – no doubt people being scammed are often too embarrassed to own up to their stupidity.

It just staggers me to see people still falling for these scams.  To not know about them, you’d need to be living in a cave or something, or be incredibly stupid, gullible, greedy or all of those.  Hard to protect some people from themselves, it seems.
