Unbelievable.

Though, in actuality, it's all too believable.

The FBI used to have an e-mail address where one could forward all this scam garbage, but it was discontinued a few years ago - proving, as I see it, that our government simply doesn't give a damn.

As I advance more and more into middle age, I confess I've become so cynical that I would never sign up for an online dating service, or anything like that. Too many scammers out there. Also, I'm a bit old-fashioned - I prefer face-to-face interaction with people as far as that goes.

Yeah, there's a sucker born every minute.

I do find amusement, though, in reading stories on the Internet of how people occasionally scam the scammers. Poetic justice, IMO. grin

"For me, there's only my wife..."

"Sure I cook with wine - sometimes I even add it to the food!"

"When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies?"

"It was a grass harp... And we listened."

"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? Every, every minute?"

"No. Saints and poets, maybe... they do some."
