  1. Go for it. What have you got to lose? Seems totally above board.

  2. Seems totally legit.

    Kidding aside, I recently watched an episode of Intervention where a guy addicted to Percs or Vic got caught up in the Nigerian scam as well and lost over $600,000. Sad affair.

    So, while we laugh at these emails and instantly delete them all it takes is one sucker/victim.

  3. Well, I'd want some assurance. Send it to me and I'll act ask your escrow agent. No point dumping it overseas when you can contribute to the home economy.

  4. Dear Mojo, tx for your comment to one of my Devil Dictionary posts. It's nice to know someone out there likes them. As for that email I would like to ram every one the scammer has ever sent out... right down his throat until he chokes. We get plenty of these over here but their English is so appalling, not to mention the absurdity of the amount of money involved....and why the bloody hell have you've been selected...clearly makes the whole scam the most pathetic and ludicrous one ever perpetrated. These bloody Nigerians are complete tossers. Yours always here for advice Howard Bigot Johnson
