The Perfect Mark
How a Massachusetts psychotherapist fell for a Nigerian e-mail scam.

Late one afternoon in June, 2001, John W. Worley sat in a burgundy leather desk chair reading his e-mail. He was fifty-seven and burly, with glasses, a fringe of salt-and-pepper hair, and a bushy gray beard. A decorated Vietnam veteran and an ordained minister, he had a busy practice as a Christian psychotherapist, and, with his wife, Barbara, was the caretaker of a mansion on a historic estate in Groton, Massachusetts. He lived in a comfortable three-bedroom suite in the

Fascinating story of a total idiot who fell for the Nigerian '419' scam... It's a long read from 'The New Yorker' magazine so set aside a half hour to digest it properly.

You know - I have scant regard for academics and so called 'educated' people because they are all a bunch of gullable twats. I have nothing but derision and scorn for Christians and other mentally handicapped people.

But when you combine a Christian with an academic then you've got a real loser and a target for scamming...

'God' bless the Nigerians for weeding out the stupid people... I wish them luck and hope they continue to hoodwink a new generation of greedy stupid academic religous CUNTS!

Well, so you dislike a lot of people on the forum then, because a lot are academics and Christians, and probably quite a lot, very educated.

But, I do get the escence of your comment. Just remember there are an equal number of un-educated, non-religious idiots, it isn't the speical privilege of those academic Christians!

All joking aside, it's unbelievable that people fall for this crap. There must such a pent up desire to improve their lot in life, that they would believe anything. Do they believe the penis growth things too and mortgage's approved? Maybe they shouldn't be allowed on the internet. There should be a test, "Do you believe a, b, c", if you answer yes to all of them, you're not allowed on the internet.

Apart from Costass, who was a Weak Orthodox type of Christian, and apart from yourself, the academic, who is academic and Christian around here?

If it wasnt for the enlightenment that started in the 17th century and the academic achievement that followed we would probably be speaking Ottoman or Arabic ...

Without seats of learning and Universities the west would quickly crumble into a Taliban type of society.
Thats exactly what the Taliban are trying to achieve, the end of Academia...

Ironically, the Arabs brought a lot of academia to the world in the first millenium, and now it seems to be going backwards for them.

Let's not forget this site exists because of largely Christians (the owner, webmaster, most of the photographers), and academics (who invented the internet, digital cameras, etc), so let's give thanks!

Many people still fall for this scam and they are just plain greedy, period.

If you want to see the real gullible suckers on this planet just walk into any Casino. You wont see any Academics in these places .I think the Mormons own much or most of vegas as well....

Nigeria must be about the worst country on the planet to live at this moment and these scamsters are one mob i would put to the sword without any hesitation. just too lazy to work for a living.

There is a place in the world for everyone...

Just hope my path doesnt cross the religous morons' paths too often. Bunch of hypocritical wankers.
