I read an article recently of Nigerian scams,it showed several Nigerians sitting in front of the PC in internet cafe,going to work manufacturing scam emails.
All they need is one sucker to provide for one year food and lodging plus car.

I've not received this one yet - someone else on the board did recently. Not sure if I mentioned this before, but I use a separate yahoo email for my Ebay stuff and change it every 6 months. I've cut way back on Spam, only 2-3 per week!
