Glenn, You're acting as if I was trying to scam you! Gosh, all I wanted was some info to make us both rich!

Its scary that that approach EVER works... what keeps 'em trying that cr@p?!

 

[ClonedSIM]

This sounds like a great deal! Man, how come they never try to get in touch with me

Just as a curiosity I looked up on the web what currency they use.

Naira (NGN) = 100 kobo. Notes are in denominations of NGN500, 200, 100, 50, 20, 10 and 5. Coins are in denominations of NGN1 and kobo 25, 10, 5 and 1.

Date July 06
US $1.00 = NGH 128.50

Maybe If I send them an email saying that I have $3.5 Billion NGH dollars that I'm trying to send them. They can keep 30%..... etc....

I got my first one like that, the other day, from JAPAN, of all places. Maybe they are starting to figure out that the word "NIGERIA" in an email makes for instant trash.

Maybe you can forward the one from Japan to one in Nigeria. Let them figure out the Yen to NGN.

Tell them you don't trust banks, etc, but you want in! Get a Mailing Address for them, Send an E-Mail telling them your 50,000 Good Will Deposit is on the way, then send them some of those old 50k, 100k,etc Foreign Bills you can pick up at any Coin Show Cheap. Get em hooked good!
