I wonder what it is that makes spammers like this so hard to catch. Is there any doubt that if I tried to pull something that stupid, I’d be in jail by sundown? Nope.

Almost as incredible as their scaly slipperiness is the fact that there are still folks out there falling for such lousy bait. Can anyone explain why there are morons in Nigeria or wherever, trying to get people to help them launder money for a huge handling fee? Is that really still believable to anyone with sufficient mental alacrity to turn on a computer? I guess so.

Anyway, it’ll be interesting to see what Citibank’s stock does tomorrow. The bobbleheads behind “consumer sentiment” will probably cut it down a notch. Just for the halibut.
