WHAT A DEK! Although i found it rather amusing!
$2,500 to transfer money into his name!
$5,000 for legal documents
$5,000 minimum bank deposit in london
$250,000 reduced to £25,000 inheritance tax (come on, sunshine wake up!)
$10,000 (no disclosure on what its for)
then they hand him $10.6 million in a suitcase that they claim will become "legal tender" when treated with a magic solution that will
cost $120,000!
another $6,000 for airline tickets to go and collect this magic formula!
$20,000 to some other con guy in nigeria
$6,900 in travel costs (trucks and shipping)
$12,500 to bribe U.S Customs!
JESUS CHRIST THIS KID MUST HAVE BEEN THICK!
I was laughing my head off just writing that! what an idiot!

Those Nigerians must have been in a state of shock at how mind bogglingly gullible he was, think they were also testing how ridiculous they could be
with this scam and get away with it.
If they said they were aliens from the future and had sold their planet just to give him a present...would he have even batted an eyelid???

There was one on the BBC site a couple of weeks ago - gave something like 20K for the original scam, then had a call from "the FBI" who
were investigating the scammers who got him, asking him to pay their expenses to go to Nigeria to investigate, he ended up stung for £130K in the end!
how do the people who can fall for this kind of thing have that kind of money in the first place?
takes all sorts I supposed...

you usually find they have wealthy family.
My bosses young son (his dads the director) has a 'job' helping out upstairs, despite I'm told being completely useless at anything
he does. Amazingly the son drives around in a brand new Evo after writing off his last week old one. Wonder how much the insurance is for that?!
Some folk just get handed money and having never earned it throw it away on anything.
The term spoilt brat springs to mind.

i suppose if you dont spend much time on the internet you wouldnt realise how many scams and scammers there are, combine that with a big dollop of
gullibility and it just rolls from there! I suppose it becomes a bit like gambling, throwing good money after bad.

I can believe that this kid staggeringly retarded.
BUT, did no one in his family (many of who, gave him the money), smell a rat?
I believe the gene pool is probably very ,very shallow in this family
