I need advice!!
This guy in Nigeria keeps emailing me to ask if I'll let him transfer vast sums of money to my banking account.

What do you think? Good idea?

4. Hmmmm
Tell you what. Just to be certain that they're legit, give me your bank account number and I'll oversee the transaction for you. I've often dealt with foreign banking and consider myself an expert in fraud. I mean, uh I understand fraud. Yeah, that's the ticket.

8. If you are being serious,
that is a scam. You'll lose the money and never hear from them again unless it's to get more money out of you.

14. I'm not serious
Don't worry. I just don't know how to do the sarcasm icon, or whatever. I realize this entire scenario is a scam. I've been getting their offers for a long long time. Sometimes my husband gets 5-6 a day.

15. Ask him to send money
As seed to open a bank account. You'll need at least $10,000.

If it works, PM me his email address.

16. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Give them the White House address = the Republicans are well known for their largesse to the wealthy. And Nigeria is a land well known for its HUGE disparity in wealth between the haves and have-nots. Your petitioner is probably a wealthy land baron who wants more welfare (typical for elitists everywhere).

I'm sure George Bu$h will love to send him some of your tax dollars.



The Republican Party = every day is Christmas for the wealthy.

17. It's legit. GO FOR IT! And, if you truly believe in...
helping out a fellow human in his time of need, go further and ask, no, DEMAND, that your friends and family sign on as well. I happen to know this Nigerian. He's the real deal, a straight shooter, a square joe. Hell yeah, I'll vouch for him. Imagine his frustration: A simple government employee of a duly elected sovreign government. Due to recent, unexpeced turmoil in his country, he has been burdened with over $100 million worth of universally legitimate government bonds/and/or cash or gold. He needs to give it away, BUT QUICK, and he's chosen you because you---well, hell, you know what an upstanding citizen with exemplary credit you are. We ALL know it. Even the cats in Nigeria know it. That's how far the fame of your goodness has spread.

He wants, like, $15,000? Peanuts, compared to what you'll reap in return. This is YOUR day. Your ship's finally come in. You KNOW you deserve it. Don't question it. What's right is right. As Stevie Wonder sang, "God surely answered my prayers!"

I envy you. Send before midnight tonight and you'll get, in addition, 600 dozen Ginzu knives. They'll cut through a human thigh bone like butter and STILL be sharp enough to shave the $4000 truffle you'll be rich enough to buy after doing the RIGHT thing for Nigeria, and for the world.

19. Absolutely!

But be sure to retain 20 percent for the use of your account.
You'll need every penny for legal fees when you are arrested and
sent to Gitmo for helping terrorists!
