#4 Got my first Nigerian Scam letter yesterday (I changed from AOL to People pc last year)
had a file of around 400 or so before this one (Lost my file when changing servers)
I usualy send them back around 100 or so of the previous sendings, I understand internet is really expensive over there. This time I just E-Mailed a short "Fuck you Idiot" note, no more yet.
