The following comes from “John Morgan†somewhere in the bowels of Africa. And I am so lucky he found me! He wants to give me $2.6 million. Oh, that is so sweet of him. The tears are rolling down my cheeks and my stomach hurts. And if I was this illiterate and turgid, I would lock myself in a closet and never come out. I’d love to reply with a few pithy comments, but it isn't smart to give these phishers any more access.

actually fall for this stuff? I just finished reading an Ann Rule book
and included was the true background story of Mary Winkler, (Who killed
her preacher husband.)She had fallen for one of these schemes and mailed
the guy in Africa money to cover "expenses." They sent her a check that
bounced, and the bank wanted to see she and her husband about it--Mary
shot her hubby the morning they were supposed to go to the bank.
