Latest scam I receive is an email with an html quote. it does not say what the quote is for. The Quote opens to a web page where you need to type in your google\yahoo\outlook email address and password. Also they put a bible verse in their signature to make them look legit...

No, you are just much more likely to believe an Afrikaans message than an English one. There are not too many Afrikaans speaking Nigerians and Russians around.

Fortunately for us, Google Translate just translates English gibberish to gibberisher Afrikaans.

Frankly, if you do fall for such a scam, you deserve some Darwinian justice.
