LOL. I had a friend last spring almost fall for the Nigeria scam. He even had several phone conversations with the guy who initially contacted him. Funny thing was he's a teacher, has no money, and kept telling the guy that. Lucky for him he never gave any useable personal info. I explained the scam to him just in time, I think. BTW, I've noticed my spam-blocker filled with spam from "Christian mortgage" companies lately. I understand the reasoning behind Muslim "lending" institutions - i.e. the need to make capital available without violating prohibitions on charging interest - but what's the point behind "Christian mortgages"? If your loan sins, it is forgiven? ;-)
