Nigerian Scams

[cobram@juno.com]

I had one from Benin Cotonou spend money on long distance calls (I made
him think that another scammer had gone to the Western Union to pick up
HIS cash.  I then made him go to an airport 150 miles away to pick me up
(of course I had the 2 notebook computers and 3 Rolexes to give as gifts
with me.)  I then had the guy in utter desperation when I called his cell
and told him that I was trapped in customs and they were going to take
his gifts and money, he then spend more money bribing a guard to let him
in the secure area.  

After all that, I ended it with "Well, Mugu, hope you rot in hell after
dying a slow and painful death."

So what does he do???  He emails me back (because I used the word Mugu)
thinking that I'm a fellow scammer, and actually invited me to work with
him.  

The Lads from Lagos.  Check out: http://www.scamorama.com/  I haven't
been to the site in quite a while, but there should be email in there
between one of the scammers and a guy who had the lad calling McDonalds
headquarters and insisting that Mayor McCheese was waiting for his phone
call.
