Not only Nigerian billionaire but we got such e-mails from "daughters of" Gaddafi and Saddam as well. LOL

I used to laugh at these e-mails until one day I read a foolish businessman was compalining to the chamber of commerce to protect them from such fruad !!!!! Seems there are enough fools to encourage such faudulent messages to continue !!!


There are enough fools. Around here regularly cases make it to the news. We call the cause for that "greed eats brain". The trick is they do not ask for upfront payments. They ask for your ID and bank account data and actually send you money to transfer. It runs really smooth until the police knock down your door and the judge gives away a stay at a government funded zero star hotel for money laundry and participation in frauds. Of course the transferred money has to be refunded to the original owner. You may have guessed it: Itīs the victim who has to refund as thatīs the only one the police actually catches.
So fear the Nigerian billionaires especially when they bring gifts.
