No sooner had the discussion on the cashier's check scam ended than I
received not one but two fraud attempts from these numbskulls in Nigeria.

The latest is this one, which is stunning in its hilarity:

This guy wants to order 1000 donations to the VCF.  He must be some
overachiever in Fraud 101 trying to impress his instructor or something.
Anyway, I'm already stringing along the first guy, but this is going to
become a regular thing I don't have time for it.
Any ideas?
