3. Is it just me or has anyone else seen the increase in this kind of crap since the economic downswing

I bet I have become the wealthiest woman in the world from all the lotteries and business opportunites I have won and have received in the past few months from Nigerian 419 scammers.

Particularly to those addressed to "undisclosed recipients". Have we become a nation of absolute greedy dumbasses????

4. I read an article about it a few months ago.

Scamming tends to increase during economic hard times; more people decide it's viable to prey on people's desperation and false hope, and others are too desperate to realize they're being scammed.

5. I really feel for these desperate people - particuarly those who fall for the employment scams

of cashing fake checks at their own banks and sending on REAL money to the scammers. The scammed are also involved in a fraudulent money laundering scheme as well as being held accountable by their own banks for all the money they have received.

Are they stupid, desperate or both?
