Sounds like something Algore Voters might fall for.

Anyone dumb enough to fall for this scam deserves to lose their money, but I guess some people have also been gullible enough to fly to Nigeria and have been held hostage or killed. I get one of these letters every couple of weeks it seems.

Just finished reading a fascinating book "The Informant" by Kurt Eichenwald which details a price fixing scheme by Archer Daniels Midland executives...(ADM, supermarket to the world, and scammers extraordinaire courtesy of a lot of campaign donations and ethanol subsidies and requirements...but I digress)

The book details ADM's price fixing in animal nutritional supplements, but the interesting thing is that the executive who blew the whistle was a manic depressive who got caught up in one of these Nigerian 419 scams. He thought he could recoup some of his money by in term scamming ADM and the feds. Interesting book.

In the words of Nancy Reagan..."Just say No" to these get rich quick schemes.
