Have you got the cash yet?
Can I borrow 500 nira?

This is a long standing scam but I'm staggered that it got into a pprune PM.

Send Joy your bank details and "she" will clean it out for you

Send me £500 and I'll tell you how to avoid the scam....

In the meantime, the letters on here are excellent.

I'm quite familiar with the 419 scammers. If you google Ebola Monkey, he winds them up and gets some good mileage out of it too !

Surprised it hit my PM inbox though. Got all excited that I was being PM'd !!!

FFP,the difference between the Nigerian* scam (*or insert name of recent equatorial coup d'etat here) and the MoD/Government, is that one is a group of spineless chancers relying on the weakness of human nature to exploit their fellow man for personal gain, and the other is an e-mail scam.
