Oh man...this is one of the best I've ever seen. The roses are a nice touch.

There was an article in the New Yorker a couple of years ago about a guy who got his life savings wiped out by falling for one of these scams. I couldn't believe he actually came forward to be interviewed. The article pretty much kept asking, "But HOW does one fall for something that we all know is fake?" And there was no satisfactory answer. Depressing.

people fall for these things because of greed and the hope that this one time it isn't a scam but real. it's the same reason all the work at home scams still work too.

dang! I can't imagine falling for one of these! It's kinda sad...

I like how she has internet and a computer in Senegal but no phone. *laugh*

For real! I think once she figured I wasn't European she'd be pretty pissed anyways, or guy, but for real, the offer should be there!
