Woman Admits Sending $400K To Nigerian Scammer
svnt writes "Janella Spears wiped out her husband's retirement account, remortgaged their paid-for house, and took out a lien against the family car in an attempt to cash in on the deal. A undercover officer involved with the investigation called it the worst example of the scam he's ever seen. Thoughtfully, Spears has gone public with her story as a warning to others not to fall victim."
This is a perfect example of why every form of advertising works... even spam.
The fact is, when someone wants something bad enough, they will do anything and believe anything to get it.
This is why there are new Christians converted every day. They want to believe (It is called FAITH) and they will throw out every ounce of scepticism, logic, knowledge and understanding that conflicts with what they want to believe.
