New vaccine reported to combat AFF 'epidemic'
![[mail]](img/envelope.gif){kind=small}
Advanced Fee Fraud (that's "Nigeria 419" for you in Rio Linda) scams have reached "epidemic proportions", according to the BBB in Sioux Falls. And, as with all epidemics, Big Pharma has stepped up to the plate with a proposed new treatment option.
Big Pharma announced the new drug, with a proposed brand name of NoScamz, will need to be administered in a series of 5 injections. To be most effective, the injections must be given in the buttocks, and each injection must be followed by a swift kick to ensure it disperses properly.
A spokesman for Big Pharma told this reporter that it is really, really important to administer NoScamz as early as possible. When contacted by his lobbyists, Gov Rick Perry (R-TX) announced that he would mandate the use of NoScamz by all male children, prior to entering the first grade.

The Nigerian scams keep getting funnier in my opinion. I am now getting these people that desperately need an American to cash money orders for them, or they just need to give me money.
I just send them an email telling them to paypal me the money to tdwelch@mac.com
Freakin dumbasses, do they really think people are dumb enough to fall for this crap. I get about 20 to 30 of them in my yahoo account per week.
Another thing you can do to piss off direct mail spammers is to just send their crap back to them (like credit card offers) without filling them out.
I send the crap back to them instead of having to shred it.
I have been doing this for about 10 years now.
