Duh

Dr Edward Martin, Edward D May, Ray Edwards, hmm do we sense a theme here? Mr Johnny Brown, Mrs Kate Johnson, Will Wood and my personal favourite - Peter McWealth. Apparently these are just some of the people who think I'm truly gullible but, as Timothy will tell you, they've taken gullible out of the dictionary. (Sorry, old family joke).
These people, along with countless members of Nigerian royalty seem to think that I'm going to part with my money (what money?) at the drop of an email.
I won't even mention the countless strangely named people who believe they can do wonders for my sex life, most of whom assume I'm a man.
What fun the internet can be and how sad if there are really people out there who will fall for the trickery. On the other hand, it could be that my cynicism has allowed me to let tens of millions of rands just slip through my disbelieving fingers, a bit like the boy who cried wolf. Perhaps one day I'll miss out on a genuine legacy from a distant relative I have never met.
