Stupid Scammer Watch: An Anal-Gland Removal Loan?

I occasionally respond to Nigerian 419 scam e-mails in an effort to waste their time. I do it mainly because I figure the time spent corresponding with me is time they’re not spending scamming someone else.


Last week, I had a series of exchanges with “Dr. Paul Neville” who appeared in my inbox offering me a loan. The ruse illustrated that some of these people will respond to anything. And, yes, I set up a fake Yahoo account for this.


Warning: Bathroom humor of the vilest form ahead. If graphic, bodily function jokes of questionable humor bother you, read no further. I don’t want any letters saying I’m a disgusting, pathetic juvenile loser. We all know that already.
