I get three or 4 spams a day telling me I have been appointed "trustee" over some foreign bank account or that I have won a lottery or from some poor "widow" trusting me with her money. I have a good security system and spam filter but they just keep coming. This is getting out of hand. HELP!

Personnally, I would like to disconnect Nigeria from the rest of the world. I'm like you I am tired of it, the real problem is people fall for it! GREED is a really big motivation and the ones playing on that know people will take the bait.
That particular scam is a full time occupation for many in Nigeria.. there has been TV articles and shots of the "offices" being used. Guess when you can't figure out a legitimate way to earn money you do anything.
Send your Congressman a letter -- complain to the Senate, tell them this Cyber Terrorism has to stop and tell them to pull the internet plug on countries that support this garbage!
PS 80% of the worlds spam comes from the US! So lets stop it here first! PUT THEM IN JAIL!

no way. sorry. i get over 15 spam messages a day. theyre so annoying. if you are using yahoo mail then im sure they are getting past the filter, if you change to hotmail no spam will get through the filter. their filter is much better
