If I could kiss her, I would... We all need to start doing this. Apparently a woman went along with one of those craptastic Nigerian 4-1-9 email scam guys. For months she corresponded with the guy, letting him think that she was falling for it. Finally, when he showed up to get cash from her, she was waiting with the secret service and the FBI to meet him. Way to go, lady!

    That's how they catch most of those scum - the one's that they are able to get, that is. Sometimes it's a private citizen who smells a rat (after he's already lost a few thousand dinero); sometimes it's government agents posing as ordinary people.

    But nevertheless, that lady is a heroine!

    not the addicting type of heroin though...the good female version of a hero... right?

    I see there is hope for you after all, Wugs! Yes, note the difference in spelling: heroin vs. heroine.
