LOL...that's hilarious. I thought he'd stated that there was a guy from Nigeria involved, but then he was adamently arguing otherwise so I assumed I was mistakenly. Sigh, I think "ManyBeers" comes by his handle honestly. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

If the fraudster wasn't from Nigeria... why would he *pretend* to be from Nigeria -- A COUNTRY THAT IS KNOWN FOR COMMITTING THIS KIND OF FRAUD????
