hi all, this story came out today in the Riverfront Times out of St. Louis, Missouri. Kinsella's an interesting guy.

Quote:

Calvin Huckle is bent over in his swivel office chair like he's going to vomit. His e-mail message, recited back to him in his living room in New Athens, Illinois, has him choking with laughter.

He sent the e-mail in April 2008 to a West African businessman, Dr. Lewis Jerome, which explained why a $3,000 wire transfer never arrived after months of negotiation.

Huckle wrote:

The real reason that I did not send the money was not because I did not have it — it was because I was too busy fucking your mother. Normally I don't fuck skanky West African whores like your mother — but she was VERY accommodating...Of course the $5 bill that I paid your mother with was a worthless fake — just like you. LOL!

Please send me your office address and perhaps you and I can revive our failed partnership.

— Calvin Huckle

P.S. Tell your mom I said "Hi."

Clearly, the "partnership" never came to fruition. During the four months that led up to the vulgar missive, "Dr. Jerome" and his cohorts were offering Huckle $12 million to invest in American businesses on their behalf. They promised that Huckle could share in the profits.

Nice mentions of 419eater and scamwarners there

Quote:

The Federal Trade Commission collects fraud complaints from the local, state and federal levels. Their data have revealed that a combined 71,373 Americans complained of 419 scams in 2007 and 2008.

Quote:

"It's only getting worse with the economy the way it is," says Terrill Caplan of Fraud Aid, a national nonprofit providing support and guidance for scam victims. In the past year, says Caplan, Fraud Aid has received more than 100,000 reports of scam e-mail from people in the United States and Canada.

Since the economy began to unravel last fall, such reports have increased by nearly 25 percent, and the number of victims has shot up by about 11 percent. Says Caplan: "More people are grasping at straws than ever before."
