My Rantings and Other Non-Sensical Thoughts

Today I started reading about how yet another person has been scammed by the Nigerian 419 email scam. I started reading the article with a "haha stupid sucker" attitude. However, by the end of the article I felt so sorry for this man. He has a disabled wife and now is over $300k in debt. Yes, he was being stupid, but he honestly thought it would mean a better life for he & his wife. I wish I were a billionaire so I could just call up people like that & say "Hey, I read your story & I'm going to help you. Here's $300k to pay off your debt, but don't EVER do that again, got it?".

But I'm not. At least I can keep him in my Christmas Eve prayers & hope that this taught him a huge lesson. A lesson that most 10 year olds already know. You can read the article Here.
