An new year, and the post christmas season is, as always, a time when a load of new people come online. Fresh meat for Internet scammers – iScammers. Here’s a totally bogus proposition from a ”Dr Dansuki Dan”, who tries to scam us into thinking that there is an easy way to earn a substansial amount of money. How much is quite unclear. The mail sais 38.5 M US$, and mistakes it for ”thirty eight five hundred thousand” dollars…
All caps, really bad English, and lots of titles. Yes! It’s a true Nigerian 419 scam letter!
