Proof if ever some people should not have computers.

Computer $500 - Internet Girl Friend Priceless (sent money to Nigeria and Malaysia LOL).

Bear with me I am just going to check to see;
If I have won the Euro Lotto Millions
sort out my long lost oil barren family members estate in Africa
I am fed up of confirming my bank details I wish they would stop disabling it.
 
Only one question....

How can someone that stupid have that much money arrr life isnt fair
 
Seems there is an appropriate "Forrest Gump" quote here, but it is just too obvious.
 
People like this guy have but one purpose in life...to make us feel better about the little screw ups we make.
 
Unbelievable! I remember when I went to Ghana a Nigerian told me guys spend hours and hours thinking up theses schemes. They say its effective because only greedy people fall for them. $200.000 was probably all this guy had left.
 
[citation][nom]g00fysmiley[/nom]how did a guy that gullible actually manage to make 200k >_<[/citation]

LOL, that was my first question.
 
You got it dead-on salimbest83/candrwhite/g00fysmiley: Rich people are can be really stupid. Today I'll just go shove my motherboard in the microwave, turn it ON for a while and see if it still works and if it doesn't, i'll call the company complaining. I wonda if the mobo will cut back ON! DUHHH! Im'a shoot me some gophers and steal some stops signs on my way home from work today and maybe i'll get a raise.

Meanwhile, i'll send money to all the people that sent me spam today from third world countries today...
