If it looks too good to be true, it is . . .
I just got an email from Yassar Arafat's wife!
"Dear Friend,
"Dear Friend,
I am Mrs. SUHA ARAFAT, the wife of late YASSER ARAFAT,
the Palestinian leader who died recently in Paris."
She called me friend! She wants some help from me, nothing difficult, and is willing to pay me lots of money! Maybe I'll retire and blog fulltime!
Of course this is an Internet Scam, only practical because email can be sent for free. If the scammers sent it to a few million people, and only one responds favorably and can somehow be ripped off, they win.
If email cost even a fraction of a penny to send, not that I'm necessarily recommended that as it has its own problems, most of these scams would not be economically feasible.
Feel free to send my buddy Suha Arafat email at buha_arafat@tangana.com ! Don't send lots of large files and garbage though, because whoever hosts tantaga.com is probably innocent.
