Makes you wonder

I hate to berate people for poor decision making, but the South African police have confirmed that this week they have rescued a Swedish and a Japanese foreign national who was suckered into travelling to South Africa and subsequently held for ransom.

Both people concerned were lured to South Africa in a traditional 419 scam via an unsolicited e-mail promising them great riches and wealth....

I mean really.

You have to be a LITTLE realistic. If you are going to go to a foreign country on the back of an unsolicited e-mail correspondence then you are asking for trouble. But people seem to do it all the time?!

Bloody madness.
