Subject: [Nettime-bold] help these bankers

Never been to Nigeria, but it has become readily apparent, having 
been on this list, that the country is frothing with folks who 
received millions of dollars but have no way to access it without 
your help opening a foreign bank account.

Breaks my heart that there is apparently a whole country where this 
happens several times a day.  The proposed bank account seems like a 
quick fix to a nation-wide problem.  A more permanent solution is 
needed.

I guess that's why there are so many really obvious viruses posted. 
They contain secret code operations for these economically thwarted 
Nigerians.  9 out of 10 viruses we get really do screw up computers. 
So eventually no one in their right mind would possibly open any 
unfamiliar attachments.  This serves as a kind of "camouflage".  Then 
they send the real info and only the selected recipient knows to open 
that one.

Is Net-time sort of forum to hook up helpless Nigerians with hackers 
who hide messages in viral form?  I had NO idea there were SO many of 
these people.  I'd like to help, but I guess I'm not much use since I 
don't write viruses.  Oh well.

good luck everybody,
judson
