there is another one. ” I now reside in London (Athens)” that one almost made me pee in my pants lol
slick – I know, or hope, you are being ironic. But seriously, the people who fall for this stuff are typically the most vulnerable members of society – Elderly, immigrants, desperately poor, etc. The nigerians deserve to be tormented because of the misery they cause for people that are often the least able to afford to lose a penny.
Without a doubt a scam! Avoid at all costs
i feel bad for those nigerians. imagine if the best job you could get is internet scam artist.
Wouldnt you want to be the best internet scam artist you could be?
This is definately a scam and extremely common on craigslist, ebay and of course the “Nigerian Prince” style spam mails that Snark refers to. It is called advance fee fraud and always involves you sending money for something before receiving the promised item.
If you are interested there is alot of fun to be had in baiting these guys along and wasting their time and causing them great embarrassment. It is a fun hobby i sometimes pursued in the past. There are great websites that deal with screwing with these scammers that offer great pointers and are absolutely hysterical.
