I always feel conflicted about the Nigerian Prince emails. Sure they're all scams, but can you imagine how hard it must be to be a real Nigerian Prince who is trying to escape before his country falls into chaos and the only way for him to get his hard earned inheritance out of the country safely is by wiring it to a helpful American's bank account? It's got to be their version of the "Boy who Cries Wolf".

Seriously it seems for all their effort to screw people they could just start a legitimate business just as easily, if not easier because it is legal.

I wonder how many people clicked on the story thinking that thumbnail is a Nigerian scammer in distress.
