They prey on a lot of things in the jungle, but they aren't really king. Actually, funnily enough, velociraptor probably could have been king, if it wanted to - it's pretty well known that a pack of velociraptors could take a T-rex to the ground.
So these people prey on the weak; those who don't really know the internet, don't really know all this pay pal mumbo jumbo.
Fuck, Firefox has an issue with my spelling of velociraptor but "mumbo jumbo" is fine. That really pisses me off. I have to remember to write an angry letter to Mozilla about this tomorrow.
So they expect you not know what to do in this situation. They expect Mom or dad to be sending a care package to your older brother Ricky, who is overseas fighting the war. They expect you to be sitting the front porch with your grandfather, listening to the ball game on the radio - because television hadn't made it to this part of the world yet. They expect the wind to be flowing through the wheat, and the weather to be turning. From summer, to fall, and finally to winter. It would be last, more than likely. But then. when you think of it, we humans don't last very long at all, do we? In terms of things that we know have been around since the time of the percieved day of our world's existance.
That's a whole different story though. We think we were the first things here and we will be the last to leave. I mean, just read the wikipedia article on the earth.
"The Earth is the first planet known to have liquid water on the surface and is the only place in the universe known to harbour life. Earth has a magnetic field that, together with a primarily nitrogen-oxygen atmosphere, protects the surface from radiation that is harmful to life. The atmosphere also serves as a shield that causes smaller meteors to burn up before they strike the surface."
As if they really know. As if any of us know.
And that's what they hope. They sit there, in the hopes that someone will be too ignorant to understand the scam. Too ignorant to realize that they should actually physically receive payment before sending the item.
But no one ever looks at it that way, do they? No one ever looks at it that way.
Is this a nigerian scam?

You saw those pictures before you uploaded them and yet you still said to yourself "Yes. The quality of these images is sufficient to post on the internet."
