Oregon Woman Loses $400,000 to Nigerian E-Mail Scam



SWEET HOME, Ore. — An Oregon woman who is out $400,000 after falling for a well-known Internet scam says she wasn't a sucker or an easy mark.

Janella Spears of Sweet Home says she simply became curious when she received an e-mail promising her $20.5 million if she would only help out a long-lost relative identified as J.B. Spears with a little money up front.

Spears told KATU-TV about the scammers' ability to identify her relative by name was persuasive.

"That's what got me to believe it," She said. "So, why wouldn't you send over $100?"

DD, voting for Obama hasn't proven to be stupid yet. Now only time will tell on that front but it's already established that voting for Bush WAS stupid....

Considering Obama's history, associations etc... yes.. the stupid were duped into voting for him.. in the dictionary under "Obamabot" it says "see stupid"

As for Bush.... he's worse on the economy in this time of crisis than I would expect.... and he's been much more big government than a conservative likes... but except to the far lefties, he has not been all bad

Wait a minute......you didn't expect him to be this bad on the economy in times of crisis?

What? Did you not know about his failures with other companies and his baseball team?

Fact: The fucker known as Bush Jr. has NO SENSE when it comes to crisis.

Dunno who it was.....just knew that I needed to brush my teeth, take a shower and have an enema when I was done. Had to clean myself inside and out.

I think you're the one who's a little dumb here, Dave. Obama's associations? Come on. Some guy who he served on a charity board with is questionable?? Honestly. We've been through this. Ayes is nothing. Khalidi is an American who doesn't support violence, Rezko's nothing and Wright is... well, Wright is just Wright.
