Ho do you know they are Nigerian?
I am Welsh and send requests like that to Nordlys all the time.
I still don't have her bank details, but I reckon I am not far off.
If you are accusing me of racism then spit it out!

Nigeria is not the worst offender.
And to be totally honest with you, while requests from that domain are normally quite transparent, there are far worse offenders that have adopted a more serious approach to deception.

Mining PII data these days has become surprisingly easy, do you think in the early days it was ever considered how non-educated computer users were going to interact on a global network.
Anti-virus and firewall technology can never protect from ignorance.
Nancy is just doing what the larger companies do, just differently.
The Internet is a wonderful experiment and the best of it is, it is all documented.

Nothing to hide, in essence.
Yet, talk about I/D cards with history of one on them, and that they may locate and follow your position - people go wild.
Location and my time documented... what no. I believe they are the people who do need the tracking.
Aren't they the real culprits who need to be watched and montored - the objectors?
I'd be interested on your thoughts, as I think we are of similar track. 😉
