Man you're lucky. All I got from my RICA entry was R 10.000.00.
And I hear now that one of my buddies has just had his Capitec account revoked unless he changes his password on their website "[email protected]" within 24-hours

Indeed,unfortunately it's usually also the people that are the worse of.
My grandpa has an old Hindi couple as neighbors,they had their money stolen when criminals dressed up as police in a police car pulled them over to check for 'fake' notes.A few weeks later his wife fell down some stairs and he took her to a hospital,when they came back to the parking lot their car had been stolen so he had to call my grandpa to give them a ride back home.

At one stage I always used to click on the links on those emails and then enter fake login credentials... Just to see how authentic the site looks and where it goes. They started off pretty bad with fonts mismatching, empty picture boxes, spelling errors... but later on they got pretty good. Exact replicas of the online banking sites.

You guys all lose. I've got Pres Barack Obama and the Nigerian president themselves wanting to send me 2.5 million dollars. I was told this by the director of the FBI.
And I know it's legit because he sent it from his personal hotmail address

Man! You are the luckiest man on the forum bro. Any chance you can point me to the Nigerian prince who helped you out?

Don't worry. He'll find you.
I haven't had a scam email in a long time (about a week) but I've been getting emails about loans and motivational seminars by the dozen each day.
