Here is the conversation;

And now a new low. There is an A$$, whose screen name is "ben_kofi", sending out the Nigerian Email Scam on this site. I told him to eat dirt and elephant dung. He has threatened to kill me. Also, he is going to send the "voodoo man" my way. I would like nothing better than a close encounter of the third kind with this A$$. I would kick his stinking A$$ until I got tired. Then call the INS and have him shipped back to the hell hole from which he was spawned.

Here is copy of the threat...

That's too funny!! Did you send him a pic of yourself, or will he have to draw one with his crayons?

I spend a lot of time on an international forum and 99% of the posts that deal with international issues target Americans as fascist pigs. In a recent discussion the opening sentence of a certain post read 'North Korea may be a fascist country, we all know that, but America...' and then it proceded to talk about what a fascist, despotic country we are.

When I read articles or posts like this one about the nigerian scam I just roll my eyes. Particularly because if such things are happening it's not just Americans who are falling victim. Such articles just perpetuate the current anti-American vogue. bleh

Many people have conned the scammers by getting them to travel to overseas cities so their pictures can be captured by webcams . One guy even got 5g of gold from a scammer.
