Anything having to do w/ Nigeria is a scam. Sadly, people are still falling for it.
Why is that do you think? The Nigeria part.
I get some variation of this scam in my work spam filter two or three times a day. I'm sad he's not a displaced Prince anymore. Maybe next time it'll be the UK National Lottery!
Actually the next one was the UK national lottery! You're psycho, I mean psychic!
Sadly yes, people still fall for this. The promise of money is too much for some people. And yes, anything from Nigeria is a scam. People should know that by now. It's desperation that gets people. And the Nigerian scams are moving to Benin now so what for that country too. Info courtesy of Chris Hansen.
