I know we've had a few discussions about this scam before...

If this is the one who constantly sends emails wanting us to send money, I say "Justifiable Homicide!"

I have received e-mails from this scam at least once a week.

Does this mean that I am not going to get the $23,000,000???

This scam even reached to my little island. And, unfortunately, hoodwinked the treasurer of a church, which gave MILLIONS to this operation, planning on giving the church millions back, of course, after he received the multi-millions in return..

So, like, a quick question.

EVERYONE has received these E-mails, and normally sees them for what they are. However, are they really Nigerians behind the scheme? If not, why do they use Nigeria, which is famous for the corruption and this scheme? If they are Nigerians, why, after defrauding elderly folks of their pensions, have not more embassy or consults been attacked or inundated with the unlucky types who were too greedy for their own good? Does Nigeria even attempt to police it's own citizens? Or is this a government operation?

Just curious..

I hope this shooting won't effect my $500,000 deal with Princess Mbo Akinde, daughter of the recently deceased king of the Nigerian province of Swambali.

Is this called Chech.... or Chech Mate?

When this story first broke, several of us speculated that it was related to the email scam.

[PatrioticAmerican]

Cool. Maybe Nigeria will stop this crime.

Back before the internet was big, we used to get scam faxes from Nigeria. My boss (a Scrooge, but no fool) had me re-fax them to the FBI.

I never heard back from the FBI, (but this was during the KKKlintoon years).

Fifty-year-old Michael Lekara Wayid, Nigeria's consul in the Czech Republic, was shot dead by an unidentified 72-year-old Czech at the Nigerian Embassy in Prague on Thursday

It looks like the old geezer found a way to "deal" with these scams.

I hope he gets a medal.
