    Woman gives 400k to Nigerian Scammers

    http://www.katu.com/news/34292654.html

    I get these things 2-3 times a day and keep thinking, "Who falls for this?" Well there are still some suckers out there.

    Guess this person was living in a cave.

      Spears estimates it will take two years to dig out of the debt she ran up in pursuit of the non-existent pot of Nigerian gold.

      Two years ?
      That's it ?

      She's got money and tried to get more the easy way.
      I don't feel sorry for her.

      BTW,
      Why doesn't the gov just drop a bomb on Nigeria and be done with them already.
      The whole country is one big corrupt cesspool of filth anyway.

                The world is full of idiots...unfortunately some of them also somehow have a lot of money, then they go do some dumb **** like this. The hubby should have done something much earlier like protect his accounts. Sorry, but I feel no pity for their stupidity. There are plenty of good organizations that she could have contributed to but instead she was consumed by greed. Sucker!!

                400k?? How the heck is she gonna get out of that in 2 years??? I wish I made that kind of scratch.

                  I was going to say the same thing. It didn't say what the husband did for a living because I can't imagine she makes that kind of money based on what she does for a living.

                  I have seen greed get to so many people and not just off of stupid scams like this. Multimillionaires have become bankrupt with the stock market collapse by buying stocks on margin and have lost everything.

                        Don't worry, the government will bail her out. They're doing it for all the businesses. Why stop there?

                              I got a bridge I could sell her cheap, only 40K. She can even drive over it and proclaim to the world that it's hers.
