Better or worse?

Are scammers getting more generous or just more stupid? Most scam emails are sent straight to my junk folder automatically, possibly because of the offer of millions in cash or the atrocious spelling or even for the attached photos of women wearing various amounts of clothing, but not all emails are caught.

The most recent email asked for $150 for fees and then would organise the “actual transfer of your funds ($100,000,000,000.00 USD, One Hundred Billion United State Dollars)” to my account. I might ask for it in cash as US bank notes are useful overseas. I know people get caught but an offer of $2,000 is going to sound more believable.

When I get my $100 billion I am going to use it to capture and jail every scammer. For the moment don’t trust anyone else, except for me.
