Nigeria Scam #2

While we're waiting for the dogs to arrive, I thought I'd share another Nigeria Scam e-mail I received recently. I can't help it -- I find these things hilarious.

I mean, why would the United Nations and the International Monetary Fund send me a joint e-mail to notify me that I'm being "compensated" with a $4 million ATM card? And why do I have to stop communicating with anyone else on three continents?

Do people really fall for these things?
