Busted!

 

1. I’m not sure I agree with the above. There are a lot of greedy people who deserve to get conned. I believe it was WC Fields who said “never give a sucker an even break” however there are a lot of vulnerable people out there who have been caught by these dirtbags. Personally I never would trust an Nigerian or a Ghanaian. I’m sure there must some honest ones I just haven’t met one yet!
