Sorry Luv, spam is off.

From Halifax Online Banking--again, no accounts:

"Dear Customer,

This is not a hobby - they wouldn't do it if there weren't suckers falling for it every day.  They will all tell you "it's a numbers game", and there's one born every minute.

Don't forget how much the Nigerian scammers make.  Unbelievable but true!

Unfortunately, Thumble is right. It costs them next to nothing to blanket the internet with spam, and only one sucker to make it pay off. That's why it's so persistent.

Have you seen this, Thumble? The Nigerian scammers got scammed!
