Default you are not alone!

I've recenlty launched an all-out attack on SPAM, updating my filters almost obsessively. These E-mails you refer to are everywhere. I have a yahoo mail account that hardly ever gets spam, but if something does slip in, it is usually a Nigerian business scam.

I know what you mean about it giving the whole country a bad name. I've gotten some responses from our "contact us" form on our site from the countries you mention and it does make me a little suspicious, especially when they are writing about something that has nothing to do with us and our business!! Aside from getting the right words to block, I don't know what else would work, but I'd be willing to try.
