    Apparently it's Rant Day in The Lounge, so... Pesky Nigerians! I got mails from The Bank of Nigeria, The National Lottery of Nigeria, The FBI, hell I even got an email from the US DMV ( :wtf: :wtf: ) about a parking ticket (I live across the world and I don't own a car :wtf: ). But never before have I got an email from The Elephanting US MARINES!!!! And they want to transfer money in my account too! Normally the spamfilter butcheres these, but this one got past. I wonder if it's genuine

      I think that BestBuy has hired some of the Nigerians now. My wife and I both got text messages in the last two days saying that we won a contest for $1000. Gotta love those generous Nigerians. ;)

        Sounds like a sound long term investment; they are always the first in and last out, in this case, of your account.

              Nah, I'd rather go with these guys[^] or maybe the Brits. Marines may be getting a lot of attention lately, but I saw a couple of them getting spanked in practice fights with their Russian counterparts

                I got one of those. Reported them for violating the Do Not Call list.
