How Stupid Do They Think I Am?

I got the following to a Forum private message area – this guy tosses out all of the keypoints for catching attention.  Politics, Religion, and a sick little sister who needs to get out of the country with her older brother so they can continue their education.  Yeah, sure.  I particularly love the “Please for your good information this transaction Is 100% risk free and in no way connected with any illegal transaction” part.  ::shaking head::  They’re not asking you to do anything illegal, they just want you to let them clean out your bank account – you won’t get in any legal trouble… unless you can’t pay your bills after helping them to your life savings.
