First rule of thumb when attempting a scam? Learn to speak the language.
Second rule? When assuming the identity of a government crime fighting division, you might consider pretending to be someone other than a Nigerian. Just a thought.
At least it's an improvement on the Nigerian Princes and the Oil Barons (and widows of oil barons) and somehow amazingly wealthy missionaries (ministering in Nigeria) who are always asking me to help them transport their millions out of the country.
Good day

Well, thank goodness they are rounding up these folks! :^D
Oh my, I just get the poor daughters from Ghana, Sierra Leone and Zambia who always seem to be living in another African country whose fathers died Italy, Senegal or Cote d'Ivoire but just before they died they got access to several million dollars and although these poor misspelled daughters are power of attorney or righteous heirs their uncles, colleagues or the wrongful government will not let them have access to it without my blessed help.
Thank goodness these justice fighters have caught the minxes.

One would think that they'd learn to hire some proof-readers by now, wouldn't ya?
It'd still be a scam but at least I could then respect them a little (just an eensie-weensie bit)for attention to detail on the little things such as grammar and punctuation.
:-)
Debby--Yeah it's just a shame that they're being rounded up by the other criminals.
Jeanie-- One time on My Space an oil guy from Saudi Arabia told me he'd seen my picture and I was beautiful and how lonely he and his little boy were and how he had lots of money and no one in his life. Of course they were shipping him out to Nigeria soon and he was hoping to get married before he left. I had to give him an A for originality on that one.
Mike--I'll be sure and forward your message on to Victo. (Thanks for the hearty laugh!)
Scotty--Most of the e-mails sound like over used, badly spelled lame pick up lines. I'd settle for a better story. :)
