good lord i really want to shoot the people who initiate this, as well as the people who fall for this.

2/2/2009 1:06:42 PM

i just cant see anyone falling for it, ever. maybe some of the check cashing stuff... but stuff like this...

i base this all on the "grandma scale"

if my grandma isnt gonna get fooled by it, no one is. that makes her sound dumb or something, but she's not, at all. its just when i think of most naive internet users, i think older noobs.

my grandma is not stupid at all... but she is very technologically noobish. even though she texts me through her AIM client which is pretty grannyl33t

but shit like that up there... i couldnt see it. i could see her getting phished with a fake ebay page or some crap. but never nigerian fbi royalty bank account crap.
