Recebi um mail de alguém que se diz descendente de Foday Sankoh (se a história não me falha, um político nigeriano proeminente morto) a oferecer-me entre dez a vinte e cinco por cento da sua fortuna caso eu o ajude a retirar o seu dinheiro da nigéria. Tenho só que lhe dar dinheiro para que ele consiga retirar a sua fortuna da nigéria... pois é, recebi uma mensagem com o famoso Nigerian Scam. É uma tramoia tão óbvia, tão básica e tão bizarra, que me surpreende como é que há quem caia nela. Os nigerianos que se dedicam a este crime enriquecem.
É incrível, mas é verdade...
Aqui está parte da mensagem:

understand that he deposited some huge amount of money which he
Made from sale of diamonds and golds and give me as his beloved
son,all relevant document of the consignment Which deposited
