I got my first one in hard copy around 1986 when I was in college. Since I
had no assets and no earthly reason someone should contact me about this
kind of financial activity, it was clearly a scam... I mean who would want
to clean out a bank account with $0.15 in it?

What I wonder is why Nigeria? They all seem to come from Nigeria.
