I guess this story (http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3081613a4560,00.html) shows us that turnabout is fair play. :)

Great story! Did you notice the Google Ads at the bottom?

"Low Air Fares for USA to Nigeria" & A Dating service for Nigeria

Google really knows ad placement!

Story in local news paper recently. A guy somwhere in the UK actually rooked one of them out of 50k and got away with it. Maybe same scam Pentachris mentioned earlier? Don`t know how true it is. This is true, (well nearly :D ) At home in Zim some years ago, I opend an e-mail from an Nigerian lady proclaiming that the present incumbent Regime was stopping her from exporting her late Fathers wealth to a friendly country and for a fee would I be willing to help. The total amount was in the region of $150.000.000 and my perc` for helping would be 10%, and would I please send my bank details to enable the transfer of my percentage of the money to my account :cool: The address she gave was in Zimbabwe, obviously assumed that I was in the 1st World and not Africa. Being ex BSAP/ZRP I contacted the local cops, they investigated and found a small office in Harare that was just a Post Office for moveing their garbage, no big arrests just a messenger, never been bothered for long time, touch wood, if I can find a piece in this plastic world :D
