Do you ever wonder where the Nigerians get your email address to try and scam you?

I know all the warnings and I would never participate in their scams, but where do they find the email addresses of people?
I can't believe some people still believe they will get millions of dollars from someone they don't know who says their family was "former head of oil in Nigeria" or whatever the lastest line is.

It is a huge industry in Nigeria, and gives the whole country a sinister reputation when most Nigerians are hard working people. They showed it on Dateline and it is really amazing, shops with computers all over the place on tables when the cops raided it the thieves ran like cockroaches.

i don't know. i'm Nigerian and they did that to my brother (he didn't believe it but i did), but believe me, if they get caught, their punishments are way worse than what Americans get when they scam.
