Although these type of scams may seem realistic and convincing to some computer users, I must also blame such victims for not taking the time to adequately verify the legitimacy of the operation.
As a Nigerian (*facepalm*), these guys ("Yahoo boys") really work harder than most of you to steal your ("maga") money. They are the local version of ur usual nerds and will spend obscene amounts of hours/days on thr computers, emailing 1000s of people while they are it. The odds are in their favor just as Murphy's law makes it hard for (greedy)suckers to be foolproof

This has been going on for decades, first by regular mail, then by fax and now online. Greed is what blinds these people and works for the scammers.<a class="user" href="http://technewsline.net">http://technewsline.net</a>

How will the poor husband recover after that. I wonder how that lady has lived that long at all, with her brains....
