Default Re: variance: idi the nigerian finally picks up a W

Guys, my Aunt died and she left me $1,000,000 in an account in Switzerland. But I don't have the money to go there and withdraw it. If someone sends me $5k I will go and get it and give you $100k. How can you lose?

now if i had cancelled it:

a week or so from now when he gets no money he's gonna call western union suspecting i [censored] it up somehow. western union is gonna tell him an agent (me) cancelled his transaction a week ago. i'll be charged with and convicted of felony robbery. THX BBV!

No way! A jury of your peers has to be a jury of BBVers. You'd walk.

As an aside, this site has some funny stuff (pix, very long email exchanges, etc.). Remember when people used to make beggars take pictures of themselves with a sign that said "SIIMP"? It's like that, but much more involved, and with Nigerian scammers instead of poker beggars.

Back in the day there was at least 1 good OOT thread that did this. It was actually the origin of Mr. Francis, Idi's good friend (maybe Idi too, but I think he had already made a few posts). [censored] strung some guy along for what seemed like weeks.

there was an awesome reverse scam involving a laptop that was hysterical. Though the guy who implemented hasn't been heard of since, so yeah, re-scamming may not be +EV.
