I know your post was in jest (nice one btw) but let me clarify something. The father is an extremely famous man in West Africa, extremely wealthy and with a lot of connections. Furthermore, what he did is contact the USembassy in Nigeria, which knew who he was. He gave them the information, and why he felt it was pertinent. He also contacted the Nigerian government, which also took him seriously, and probably other Western governments (considering his son was not allowed to travel to Britain, the Brits took him seriously).

The man was not some nobody to be ignored. What happened is that Homeland security simy dropped the ball! They were given all the information, and somehow in transit it was not put into play. The US embassy in Nigeria took him very seriously due to who he was ...however back State side the HOmeland security people must have been caught napping

And please to send me your social security number and your bank account number and you can have 10 million dollars....

Probably just thought it was more spam, coming from Nigeria and all. Some countries just need to have a big fence erected around them and be forgotten til the end of time. Nigeria is one of those countries.
