There's One Born Every Minute...

"Woman out $400K to 'Nigerian scam' con artists"

Oh Christ on a stick. The most tragic thing about this story is that her intelligence quotient is low enough for her to agree to her picture being published. Looks like she was victimized yet again for our viewing pleasure.

I have absolutely NO sympathy for this idiot. This is just as bad as those emails that say I have won the Brazilian lottery or that I can get a free laptop by just "clicking here"!

I love the disclaimer at the beginning of the article that states she is no relation to Britney Spears, although they have the same last name. Nice touch...

It's a bit saddening that ten years or more into mass acceptance of the 'net, people can still be sucked in.

I suppose there's always someone dumb enough and greedy enough to go for "something for nothing."

Hey--ever seen this? Find the one where the guy convinces the scammer to carve him a Commodore 64--it'll have you in stitches.

The word verifaction is scary today: "badid"
