Nigeria scam now in email #Coop
I just got an email with a scam I've heard about earlier in the news - but I haven't heard about it being sent out by email before - some people in Nigeria pretend that they have millions of dollars "in excess" for some technical reason, and that they need to tranfer them abroad and back before they can get to them, and they need somebody from outside Nigeria to help with that, for a nice fee.
Well, it sure ain't going to be me..

To avoid spam many websites make you fill out a CAPTCHA, or log in via an account at a corporation such as Twitter, Facebook, Google or even Microsoft GitHub.
I have chosen to use a more old school method of spam prevention.
