does anyone know the IQ level of Nigerians? Why do they go around spamming website with scam tactics. I believe they can only spam among themselves with the same IQ level. Are they retarted?

typo: retarded*
- I am getting really annoyed with these Nigerians spammers taking advantage of free email services and forum boards.

reply to Johnny1,
That is exactly what I did. i reported to the mail services yahoo and gmail. Those spam are so common and its unbelievable that people would fall for it.
Someone should start a awareness campaign towards this.

paul got you on that one
you should have spelled retarded correctly
concerning your question i dont think criminal activity even petty wannabe internet fraud is an indication of a lack of intelligence
what would indicate a lack of intelligence is believing these scams are real
when i receive one of those ridiculous lottery or bank account scam emails i report it to the provider of the email account which is usually yahoo or microsofts hotmail and then i mark it as spam and delete it

Spamming is a numbers game. Spam enough, you'll get someone to bite - someone just too greedy to pass up a chance or elderly folks who can no longer discern a scam. So they are running scams because they know they'll get bites. Not so stupid, eh? Unethical, dishonest, immoral - but not stupid.

let me see 100's of US citizens fall for those scams every day, so I wonder who is smarter?

I bet they can spell 'retarded' though.
