News You Can Bruise for 2002 May 28

Spam scam contest update: my mother, who also received the Angolan spam, said, "This one sorta tickles my fancy, as it is mining and prospecting." Two new entries, the second entries from Sumana and Camille:

Sumana's entry:

• Country/Organization: Nigeria/State-owned oil company
• Amount: $21,500,000
• Sumana's cut: 30% ($6,450,000)
• Proposed crime: Fraud, profiting from government corruption

Camille's entry:

• Country/Organization: Nigeria/Zenith International Bank
• Amount: $30,500,000
• Camille's cut: 20% ($6,100,000)
• Proposed crime: Bank fraud
• Extra perk #1: You will help the war on terrorism because if you don't steal the money it will go toward purchasing ammunitions for African warmongers.
• Extra perk #2: You will be promoting investment in the US, as the criminals plan to "invest in your country."
