Not sure I've been dumb enough to open one
BBC NEWS reports "Nigerian e-mail frauds targeted"Rumors about this sort of e-mail have reached my ears but I've yet to see one. I've learned to delete everything in my Comcast in-box since I trained 99% of the people I correspond with to use my Gmail account, so I couldn't have seen it there. And with the exception of the last few days Yahoo! has been doing a good job of keeping me from seeing spam. That's not a complaint as they howst my official spam address. It's the one I give out for almost all my purchases, contests, and the like. Spam almost never hits my Gmail address.
Microsoft and the government of Nigeria have joined forces to crack down on e-mail scams, many of which are known to originate from the African country. In the most common type of fraud, email recipients are asked to pay a fee in return for a much larger sum of money - which they never receive.
I wonder how much money I've passed up by now?
