"Dear Friend, As you read this, I don't want you to feel sorry for me, because, I believe everyone will die someday. My name is MR Adada Muhammadu a Crude Oil merchant in Iran…"

Am I the only one on the planet that finds it incredible that people actually are gullible enough to fall for these scams that spam us almost daily? I get at least two of these per day, per email account. I have six email accounts so you do the math.

I've been told, much to my utter surprise, that I am secretly related to Arab and African Kings who have died and left me with the princely sum of $15,000,000 dollars. And now, their lawyers (sometimes the writer misspells the word, lawyer) want to give it to me, as the sole heir, if only I fork over all my bank account numbers and passwords.

I've been told that my parents weren't really my parents and that I was sired by King Konan, King Corona, Ali Baba and his forty thieves, and of course, Adada Muhammadu. They even go as far to say I have the same last names as they do and that they can prove it with secret adoption papers. All of these "gentlemen" left me a king's fortune and all I need to do to claim it is turn over all my bank records.

These vile scammsters are operating all over the globe and aren't necessarily in Nigeria. They are found in U.S. and Canadian cities. It makes one wonder why at least our government can't close the Spammers down!

The hideous truth is that people (some Americans) do fall for this scamming.

I recall, sometime ago, a young man in his early twenties, who fell for this and gave more than $40,000.00 of the family savings to one of these scams. You see, it not only involves you turning over confidential financial records for the promise of millions but certain "administrative fees" are always needed according to these robbers.

This kid, once he figured out he threw away his family's savings, went to Nigeria looking for his money, and was never heard from again. Foul play was suspected but his body never turned up.

So, when you get an email telling you to turn over to some total stranger all of your financial secrets and whatever you have in your savings account for the promise of riches, what do you do? First, if you actually are tempted to do it, get your head examined.

Otherwise, hit the spam-block key and go to the next email. King Konan, Corona, and Ali Babba and his forty thieves will understand.

They are supposed to be dead anyway.

They won't care.
