And I got an email that said it was from a Nigerian businessman, with “information” that there were millions of dollars that could be split with me if I agreed to help him with a financial problem.

What you are not comprehending is that just because it is written, it is not fact, not information.

And as it turns out, in case after case… what was contained in the email turned out to be false.

Yet somehow you believe that because some unknown person typed it… it must all be fact.

Naive in the extreme.

There is an old saying that you need exposure to: “Don’t believe everything you read.”

You need to contemplate the morality and ethics of attempting to find people guilty of crimes that never happened.
