Neemer I have heard about the Nigerian oil scam many times, many people have been taken. As for Nostradmus I saw a two hour show on him once.

Most of was if you change this letter or these four words or, anyways write thousands and thousands of pages in verse and you maybe the next great Nostradmus, (all garbage).

Andreas Schroeder has written a collection of books (published McClelland And Stewart) they are funny but great scams of the past.

One of the better ones is Scams, Scandals and Skulduggery, it is amazing how many of these scams worked.

thanks

Neemer, we rednecks are pretty easy to fool, lol! That can be attested to by the volume of emails I get that are hoaxes/urban legends/myths/out and out lies. When u don't know if something is real or if it sounds to good to be true, u can use the search option at this site. They are all there, true ones and mostly, false ones. GL!
