a urgent message from the bang of bendigu re your acount dertails

New scientists  Feedback page, 18th July issue, reports some recent research that has produced results so obvious that they might be brilliant.

Why is it that Nigerian emails are so unbelievable?  The answer is that the extreme unbelievability of these messages automatically filters the recipients of the email scams; The  vast majority of more skeptical  recipients  automatically hit the delete button,  and therefore ‘unbelievability’  delivers to the scamers  a  constant, pre-filtered  stream of those who can believe anything.

Gluebal   conspisrisy  any biddy?
