There was a recent story about the two widows of a Nigerian 419 spammer who was worth about $13 million. He died and now his two widows are both trying to get the money. There is something delightful about that, especially if the government takes it because it was illegal profits. There was another posting I ran across lately that pointed to a video of the Nigerian authorities raiding a 419 Internet cafe operation. It turned a little ugly at the end. The crowd was on the side of the 419ers. But they were herded ito vans and taken off as the rocks started to fly. {^_^} From: "Andy Greenwood" > yup, if you have free time, it can be fun to mess with these guys, > plus the more people mess with them, the less profit they make.
