What a birthday present.

I wonder how many people fall for scams like that. I would have to imagine that enough people have to fall for it to make it lucrative enough for the African scammers to keep doing it. Dumbasses....

Since my original post it has really gotten out of hand. My e-mail address must be on some international scammers list now because I now recieve 3-5 of these "you've won" spams PER DAY, with a vast majority coming from Nigeria.

I don't think nils was referring to you or the OP...I think he was just speaking about how these remind him that some people do in fact fall for it, and THOSE people are idiots.
