I've encountered allot of comments that blame the victims of these scams, well with capitalists phrases like "Greed is good", It takes money to make money" and add to the formula the tightly kept circles of limited people in the rich community. Results in the lack of legitimate opportunity given to others non-rich which enhances this kind of thing happening.

An illegal or legal approach to bilk people out of their money will still spread hate around.

yahoo's spam filter is so pathetic that i win at least ten such lotteries everyday. gmail's is excellent. i've used gmail for around 2 years now and NOT A SINGLE spam has made it to my inbox.
not that i care much about yahoo's filter, though. like all of us, i use yahoo spambox only for giving my address when a website asks for it. they can spam all they like there.

and those of you who'd like to waste scammers' time by baiting them and do some good to the world, check this site:

IMHO M$ and Cuckoo should have teamed to terminate the internet access of those who fell for those scam.... and possibly inform all their friends about it, so they won't fall for it again....
