There's some URL or e-mail address you can forward it to. I don't
remember what it was. Try searching for "nigerian 419 scam".
I've been getting around 5-6 a week for the last couple weeks. Some punk
bitch in Nigeria just got his hands on a mailing list and a server
apparently.
Just ignore them. If anyone is stupid enough to fall for this then they
deserve to be looted. Judging by the fact that this scam has been around
for ages and that these letters just keep coming, it is apparent that
there are in fact some people stupid enough to fall for it.
