Maybe he's sending email with fractured syntax from Lagos, Nigeria.Probably. I wonder how much they actually make off that scam.

Probably. I wonder how much they actually make off that scam.CP mentioned that one respondent used the escrow account for the title insurance company she worked for.
Over a megabuck went bye-bye, IIRC.
That scammer was probably saying, "Holy cow! FIRST ROUND IS ON ME, LADS!"

You'd be surprised, I heard of a few rubes in the Bay Area getting sacked for a few 10's of thousands.
The Nigerian scam is analogous to drift netting, for suckers...
