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

Thursday, April 29, 2004

Those of you who are reading this, and think that nobody could ever fall for the "Nigerian Scam" should think again.

Many have in fact fallen for this scam, all happily holding on to the belief that they could never be fooled.

One Swiss gentleman "invested" (ie lost) over $100K in a "Nigerian oil company" over a period of 6 months.

What makes this person's case even more remarkable, is the fact that the Swiss police contacted him on several ocassions to warn him that he was being "scammed". The Swiss banking system is efficient and picked up large money transfers to Nigeria, the bank then informed the police.

He chose not to believe them, placing his faith in the integrity of his "trusted" Nigerian associates.

The result?

He is now down over $100K, and feeling very foolish.
