Ghost of a flea: You're my only hope

You're my only hope

I am almost more annoyed with the people who respond to email scams than the scammers themselves. If people did not fall for this stuff the con-artists would stop sending me these emails. I mean seriously, an enormous "moon-shaped space station"? Please... (via ***Dave).

ATTN: FRIEND,

COMPLIMENT OF THE DAY TO YOU. I WISH TO EXTEND THIS MUTUAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL TO YOU WITH THE HOPE THAT YOU WILL GLADLY ACCEPT. I AM AN IMPERIAL SENATOR AND DEPOSED PRINCESS OF THE OLD REPUBLIC. IN THE COURSE OF DISCHARGING MY AMBASSADORIAL DUTY LAST YEAR, I DISCOVERED THAT SOME GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS IN THE EMPIRE, WHICH REGIME HAS CONTROLLED THE GALAXY WITH AN IRON FIST, COMMITTED SOME FISCAL IRREGULARITIES DURING THE DEVELOP OF AN ENORMOUS NEW MOON-SHAPED SPACE STATION WITH TERRIFYING DESTRUCTIVE POTENTIAL.

That's no moon, it's a space station!

Are you kidding? I've made _thousands_ just by helping out nice folks in Nigeria.
