Oregon Woman Loses $400,000 to Nigerian E-Mail Scam

For those who wondered if people really fall for their come-ons and send money after receiving an email; Yes. Sadly, such people do exist. They even do it when warned not to – as this lady did.
Because such gullible people exist, the scum will continue their crimes and another fool and their money will soon be parted.
Many of us worry that elderly people we know that have lost much of their rational thinking capability will fall prey. I for one will be passing this along to my parents (in a kind and thoughtful way). I just hope they pay attention, remember, and heed the warning.
