Nigerian Scam Goes Deaf

The infamous Nigerian Bank Scam has added a wrinkle. Seems the perps have taken to using AT&T's text call service meant for deaf or hearing-impaired folks.

This demonstrates that spammers and scammers will absolutely do anything, and will pretty much always be one step ahead of the rest of us.

The Onion has a funny take this week on the rising costs of spam, and even mentions the whole Nigerian Bank Scam - http://www.theonion.com/onion3920/wdyt_3920.html

I passed on the Nigerian scam. The South African scam promises nearly twice as much money.
