Hehe,

I just had my first "Nigerian scam" email about my YZF! It was a textbook "My buyer wrote a check for _X_ amount for another bike, but it sold now wants to buy your bike. You just need to send a big check to ME to cover the difference, blah blah blah...."

I wonder if anyone actually falls for those scams?  :dunno:

I think quite a few people have fallen for the "I am the son of a tribal chief and we need to get a great deal of money out of Nigeria, all we need is someone in Europe/US with a bank account that we can transfer a million or so into.......you can't loose etc,."

I say again, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is.

In Cricket the testicular guard, or Box, was introduced in 1874. The helmet was introduced in 1974. Is there a message??

Man, I was totally glued to the whole thread (4 pages... to be continued). Man, it really shows how desparate, greedy, and stupid these people are. Definitely a good read. Justice prevails :nana:
