I guess what you're talking about. A couple of years ago I used to receive e-mails from some "Nigerian gentleman" proposing me to earn a million dollars with no effort from my part. I received dozens of those e-mails with different signatures, but always stating that the writer was a "Nigerian gentleman". Giovanni S. Crisi Sao Paulo - Brazil
Some time ago there was an account on slashdot (another board) by someone who got the letter requesting help with Nigerian bank transactions- replied, and when the inevitable request for money came, replied that his money ,having been aquired thru dubious means could not be wire transferred and that the only possible way would be in cash. He actually got pictures of the scammers agent standing under the specified streetlamp somewhere in Holland waiting for the cash to come. Bill
