Send No Money Now

A Washington state woman has been sentenced to two years for running one of those Nigerian email scams. Victims were duped into cashing checks on behalf of someone overseas, then sending most of the funds back to the source while keeping the remainder as payment. Problem was that the checks were later discovered to be fake, and the helpful victims would end up being liable for the entire amount.

Okay, so the woman who thought this scheme up is in jail. But what about the people who were dumb enough to fall for it? Is it fair to future generations of mankind that these people are allowed to remain free and breed, thereby forcing down the average IQ of future, as yet unborn human generations?

Whatever. I don't have time to pontificate on the stupidity of others. I have to go help a recently deposed African prince smuggle his family's $30 million fortune out of his country, and for some reason he needs my bank account information to do it.

Gosh, I feel so special!
