the list of foreigner that have been scammed by Nigerian Fraudster. It might interest you to know that we have signed an agreement with the UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT during our first meeting this year with our PRESIDENT Commander In-Chief Federal Republic of Nigeria, ALHAJI UMARU MUSA YAR'ADUA and the FBI to fight against this and to return all contract funds that has been stolen and people who has been scammed too.A total sum of ($150.000.00) united state dollars in cash has been set aside for compensationwhichwill be deliveredto your door step by an accredited diplomatic courier.

Note that the only office/chamber you are to contact prior to the delivery of your fund, is , which is currently been headed by the Bank Manager Mr.Joe Thomas. You are further advised to deal directly with him and do what so ever you are asked to do because that is the only way you will achieve the success in the wire of your funds to you as designated:

Please we demand an urgent response prior to this matter and to work with us to enable track those Miscreants and send their information to the FBI to carry out actions in the US immediately because those Miscreants have some agent all over the country and we are now working with the internet operation such as YAHOOMAIL, HOTMAIL,AOL,the Nigeria police and also the Economic Financial Crime Commission (EFCC) so that the scam can be eradicated in this country, hence i want you to follow your fund code which below, which is given to you by the high court of Nigeria(NG29820FGN). You are to keep
this code for security purposes.

Note that every beneficiary will be responsible for shipping fees which cannot be deducted from the fund because there is a bond holding the consignment that stated that only the sole beneficiary of the fund is permitted to open it after it has been sealed by the foreign payment department. The shipping fee is only $390.00usd. Also note that the federal high Court here will alert the united state bureau and also your state police immediately your shipment leave the shore of Nigeria so as to avoid any restriction and problem when the fund get to its port of destination.

Thanks.

Best Regard.

You know, now that these Nigerian scams have really gotten into the public eye the past few years, how does anyone still fall for this? Even if someone's never heard of the scam, wouldn't that person eventually talk to their friends, one of whom would have heard about it?

Yeah, that [censored] spent every dollar he had in the world shipping [censored] to a fake woman in Africa. Chris Hansen asked him how much and he said $40,000. Riddle me this, Caped Crusader: How the [censored] did someone stupid enough to fall for this [censored] get $40,000 ahead in the first place? And I mean, that [censored] was dumb as hell, too.
