Default Woman pays 400K to Nigerian spammers

For more than two years, Spears sent tens and hundreds of thousands of dollars. Everyone she knew, including law enforcement officials, her family and bank officials, told her to stop, that it was all a scam. She persisted.
Spears said she kept sending money because the scammers kept telling her that the next payment would be the last one, that the big money was inbound. Spears said she became obsessed with getting paid.

Wow. What I've heard of people falling for this scam is where they make one payment, then stop because they realize it's a scam.

That is just crazy.

LOL this is hilarious

When Spears began to doubt the scam, she got letters from the President of Nigeria, FBI Director Mueller, and President Bush. Terrorists could get the money if she did not help, Bush’s letter said. Spears continued to send funds. All the letters were fake, of course.

Normally I don't like to blame the victim. But geez. After she kept sending money to the scammers her obsession turned into a delusion.


I bet this scam is the biggest contributor to Nigeria's GDP.

I'd like to produce a multi-million dollar grossing film based on her story. Think she'd spot me $100K I need to get me started in return for a share of the profits? It can't miss.

What kills me about this is that law enforcement officials were telling her not to and she still did.

I'll bite. I think this is a variation of a very old joke.

at least MOST of what comes out of her birth canal isn't..........hmmmm..........mentally challenged.

Forgive me if I'm thinking of another old joke.
