What a stupid e-mail message!

Hi folks! Just wanted to share with you about a recent e-mail message I got about adopting two deaf children. The e-mail included a Deaf Life logo stating that it supported this so-called agency and that if I would be interested then contact the writer and the bank. Oh duh! Can you believe how someone that stupid wrote this e-mail asking me to contact the bank where my money could be transferred just like that? I wonder if it worked for them before? Also what made them think that anyone would fall for that? Read on..Note: Thanks to Matthew Moore, an editor of Deaf Life, for his permission to show their logo that the scammers stole to market their sham service. Deaf Life is not a part of this.

Is she a retard?

[avbria]

Are you talking about me? Are you really that stupid to make such comments because I use American Sign Language?

[oscarhernandezjr]

It is so badly written, and ridden with an unbelievable amount of spelling mistakes. How silly can you be to actually believe anyone is going to take this seriously? Not to mention the obvious fact that a no one is going to trust a complete stranger offering you millions of dollars. I got so many of these at one stage I had to change email accounts. Good on you for exposing them this way. By the way, I'm learning Auslan (Australian Sign Language) :D

Unfortunately, I happen to know through my friend who told me how she became a victim of a scam through e-mails like this. Her bank account was wiped out. So it is not a silly matter, honey.

There's always some dead people with millions of dollar ready to be transferred to your name. That's a typical Nigerian 419 scam.
