Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Tuesday, September 21, 2004

Mohammed wrote to me today, how nice!

He claims to be the son of the late President of Nigeria, hardly a ringing endorsement of honesty.

This chappy then goes on to call me "dear friend", even though we have never met.

He claims to have a box containing $20M, these people are very fond of keeping their valuables in boxes.

He wants me to help him get it out of the country, and offers me 30%; but 30% of nothing is of course, nothing!

He asks that I contact his lawyer, as he is being "burged"; whatever that means.

To repeat the well worn mantra, this is a con don't fall for it.
