So Registering with a site like that is like saying "I'm already gullible, does anyone want to pitch products to me?"
Lol.

This isn't religious spam (as far as I can tell), but I wanted to share. It's not from Nigeria so it must be true. :)
Hello,
Compliments of the day to you, I believe all is well. My name is Michael Leyden and I am a senior member of staff of a reputable bank in England. I have a transaction that I believe will be of mutual benefits to both of us. It involves an investment portfolio in our organization which I like to acquire with your help and assistance.
This will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law and you will be compensated adequately according to agreed commissions. Having said this, all that is required now is your complete trust and honest cooperation to enable us to see this transaction through.
You will have to show commitments to the cause as time will be of great importance in what we have to do. If you are interested and prepared to work with me according to these dictates, please reply to this mail at micley01@yahoo.com.cn immediately so that we can discuss, make assessments and after your basic understanding of the whole business, commence the process by which we will actualize the project. I wish you a pleasant day as I hope to read from you soon.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Leyden

The thing is, some people have to answer those Nigerian scam things, otherwise they wouldn't keep them up. I just can't imagine going "Yes, internet, take my bank account! Please!"
ETA: Oh, I didn't see that it said "Legitimate." My bad. It's totally fine.

They've got a hot (stolen) key that will 'turn' any lock in the city. It's a Christian thieves network.
