You could say that anyone below average inteligence is stupid then that'll be 1/2 the UK population. And most people are greedy so there is a huge base of potential victims.


Not all of these are scams but I don't know what is holding up Reverend Umdogo sending my $ 35 M as he has my bank details.

The Reverend Umdogo?!

But….he promised me the $35M cos he said I was special and he’d picked me out of millions of people as I seemed trustworthy enough to look after his millions, for a half share like, he’s very generous

He’s got my girlfriend as the deposit and I’m meeting him tonight alone in a dark ally to give him my card details. I’m sure you must be thinking of someone else.

Well that is just tough titties. Hard work and intelligence should be rewarded, stupidity, greed and lazinees should be punished.

Surely the one rule in life that you learn as soon as you are weaned off baby milk is that noone in this wild is going to give you money for nothing
