Because they work.  How the hell do you fall for something like this?  And this woman probably mailed in a ballot this year.   :-\

There was a couple here in Northern Australia that have sent a small fortune to these scams, and from the last I heard they were still sending money thinking that one day they would pay off.

Retards.

She said she wasn't an easy mark....

She kept sending them money...

"It didn't work with $100, let's send them $400k"

Brilliant!

I hate to tell her, but she IS an easy mark and not terribly bright. It's sad that the American dream has come down to wanting money for nothing and people are too ignorant to realize they're not going to be rich. I feel sorry for her husband though.

It's funnier because everyone around her knew it was a scam and yet she didn't and she still says she's not an easy mark.  [roll] Some people should not be allowed to touch a computer.

Dear Janella Spears of Sweet Home, Oregon,

I am a king from the small country of San Stealo Dinero and I'm writing to you on a very important matter...

Anyone have this idiot's email address?  I want the whole she-bang!

pretty make the beast with two backsing stupid.

I have a friend who fell for a scam once. he was trying to sell his car, was contacted by a individual who buys cars for his clients. he sent a check for 10K more then the value of the car was told to deposit the check send 5k to one western union address and 5k to another, then they were going to contact him on how to get the car delivered..

dumb ass. its a good thing banks are smarter then him, they held the check for like 10 days to ensure the funds cleared before they allowed him access to his money, or else that moron might have wired 5K bucks to a few lucky individuals...

what a dumb ass.

She was greedy. 

She deserves to be fleeced.

(you would have thought hubby wouldn't have signed to borrow against the house and car - but maybe he's just as greedy!)
