ABC Expose Doesn’t Stop Scammer From Trying Again

Why do you not put more effort on how US oil companies (Exxon Mobil& Chevron) are degrading the Niger Delta environment, in Nigeria. While you were in Nigeria you should have visited the Niger Delta and seen the BIGGER SCAM. This report should have been more objective.

Tim Sloan is also a crook in this matter so lets not forget about that. Any person with half a brain would know that accepting blackened money shipped out of a third world country in exchange for a huge profit is a scam. Only his greed put him in this situation and I am glad to see he lost some money. Everyone I know gets these stupid scam letters from around the world and yet not one of my friends has ever sent them a dime. Why? Because we are the average working man who thinks before they act. The people who fall for these scams are the really stupid or like DR Sloan, people who already have too much money and are obsessed with finding more.

I saw this special, the stupidity of the people who get scammed is mind boggling. How can this guy be a doctor yet so dumb to be bilked out of $350,000 and given black sheets of construction paper?
I don’t understand how people can be this dumb I really don’t.
If you ask me this guy deserves it for being so greedy that he simply threw common sense out the door.

We have just recently been scammed out of $11,000.00 by a “company” in nigeria. It put a cabash on our christmas spending … there will not be any Christmas spending. I would like to report it somewhere but I don’t know where. Anyone got any ideas for me? Thank you ~ Candi

I would like to see these Nigerian Scammers run for congress for several reasons.
1. You always receive nice emails from them.
2. They are consistently coming up with Great money making ideas.
3. They are more honest than my current congressman.
4. They do a lot better job at spending the money I send them than my congressman does.

How can anyone as erudite as Dr. Sloan get caught in a scam I can only describe as so obvious it borders on the ludicrous. Dr. Sloan gets no pity from me. GREED is one of the seven deadly sins for a reason. As for “Mr. Ebi,” he’s only taking advantage of the old adage, “A fool and his money are soon parted.”

This Dr. Timothy Sloan guy sounds like an idiot. How do you get to a point in life, where you’ve earned the title Doctor, and you’re too stupid to realize sending someone 300+ thousand dollars in Africa is a poor investment? As far as I’m concerned he deserves to be out his money because he’s gullible. There are laws on the books in the USA against theft by swindle, but the US can’t govern Africa. Cudos to the guy who got the cash in the end. Shame on the idiot who lost his money. Tough lesson learned.

These scams have been going on for a very long time. There exists a small group of people who “play along” with these scammers and bait them to see where it goes. Some of them are quite funny but don’t be fooled. There exists the possibilty that these Nigerians could harm you so make sure you know what you are doing if you decide to tug on the line and lead these criminal along for fun.

While I am not defending the scam artist, I blame the doctor as well. How does someone promise him black money or whatever and he pays $340,000 for it? Surely our resident doctor knew that the money would be counterfiet? Even if it wasn’t counterfiet money, surely he knew such a transation would be illegal. And if the money was all it was cracked up to be and legal did he ever consider why would the person selling it need to sell it, surely he would want to keep it for himself? I have to say that it is nitwits like him that encourage fraud especially those kinds of cyber fraud. No wonder he lost so much money. Obviously for him money grows on trees because if it didnt, he would not be so stupid. I think he is as guilty as the scam artist. I have an ammulet that brings good luck that has been in my family for 500 years. It brings the wearer unpresidented luck. It is his for a measly sum of $250,000!!!!

This is hillarious. THis is how you foreign media cause conflicts. Get your facts right before writing about events in places you hardly know. I would like the managment of ABC to note that a whole lot of Nigerians even in the united states wont take kindly to our beloved Fatherland insulted.

The same thoughts ran through my mind as many of the posters: how could such a book smart man fall for such an obvious scam?
But let’s not be too hard on Dr. Sloan because his greed is not a crime. The real criminals are the scammers. He has already paid for his greed. Let’s focus on the people who are the con artists.
It is a dangerous thing to begin to judge people. He may have acted foolishly, but who hasn’t been greedy or foolish at one point in time or another?

The greedy doctor got what he deserved.
No sympathy for a fool who at least must
have known that his imagined riches would
have been criminal.
How he earned an M.D. is another question.
Our faith in the medical profession sinks
yet lower.

I think it is highly pathetic that ABC spends time on such a report. They must have nothing better to do with their time. Companies like Enron fraudulently fooled many shareholders, while the managment team embezzled all thier money. This type of stereotype and name calling is uncalled for. Majority of Nigerians are hardworking people who are putting in numerous hours to fend for themselves and their families. This story should highlight the ethical issues of Americans and the dishonesty embedded in their culture. If they weren’t greedy, they would never have been a victim of fraud. Shame on ABC and shame on the American society itself

Let me see if I get this straight, you are sent an e-mail saying that for just a few thousand, you can make a million dollars. A million dollars of money from a foreign country, which is having ongoing problems with social deficiencies in that country (corruption, lack of food, schooling, adequate water and housing)and you are more than willing to take money. Shock of all shocks, these people turn out to be scam artists. They have stolen from you the money you were going to use to steal from others (of course you would have put it on your taxes and donate a little) and now you want us to feel bad for you? Brian Ross, I thought you were smarter than this. There had to be something else going on in the world the week this story came out. Nigerians, Liberians, Texans it doesn’t matter that the scam is being pulled. What matters is the greed and unbelievable sense of entitlement of the people who were scammed. You deserve to loose every penny of that money, just as the scammer deserves every moment of bad karma that will come with his/her deeds. Next time you want to take candy from babies because you think they won’t care, you’ll hopefully think twice. Though I very much doubt it.
To the woman who lost $11,000, you should tell yourself and then hope yourself doesn’t find you as distasteful as we all should….

First of all, Brian Ross made some disparaging and inaccurate comments. But this will not be the first time that ABC produced information filled with fallacy. I.E. (George Bush Documentary,Movie about events leading to 911).
1> Its impossible to live on $1 a week when a loaf of bread can cost between $2 to $4 dollars.
2> “..a crime ridden, disgrace of a city..” exist in the U.S. too. I.E. washington,D.C,
So please,(ABC) do more researches before producing another fallacy filled investigation.

I have a friend who almost fell for some poor girl’s sob story. The “girl” begged for his help and started suggesting money would help her out. “She” even went so far as to book a flight and emailed him all the info. I contacted the airline on his behalf and reported the whole thing to security. I also contacted the personals service he met “her” through and reported it. Now, we laugh about it. Thank goodness he doubted the whole thing and sought advice. It could have been costly.

first and foremost it was very wrong for that news guy to say that nigerians average income is one dollar a week..this is so not true because some nigerians here or even in nigeria feeds much more better that him,and i really cant understand why the americans that claim to beone of the richest and knowing that too much smart people in should fall for those tricks,c’mon now…what in the hell is black money,even a mad man can’t fall for it…and the white *mugus* be falling for it….it’s so funny..this shit has been going on for a long time now and it’s just being brought to public now…wow!!!..am still amazed that a heart surgeon is a fool at his age,please i would like to know the kind of surgery he really does coz mehn i can’t help to say that he is a dumb fool..it’s not like people don’t do 419 to eachother,even in america here most people dupe eachother,……it’s life for you…let the wise be wise and the fool learn..

Does anyone have Dr. Sloans email address. I can sell him that paint remover for half price. For $170,000 he get that paint of, no problem guarranteed, and that’s no scam.
I’ve already made the trip to the hardware store and all I need to do is send him my paypal account number. I’ll even pay for shipping myself as a bonus!
What a looser.

Once a fool- always a fool… Come on people! Why would anyone send someone overseas a large sum of money without some face-to-face contact as well as written documentation explaining the proposed deal? I remember when I first received one of these emails… I emailed the person back that I was protected legally and that if the proposal was a scam, I’d contact the necessary authorities… needless to say, I never received a reply! These scam artists don’t want to wait in line to enter hell… they want 1st class, shuttle express service!

Anyone stupid enough to fall into a Nigerian scam deserves to lose their money. If you receive an email, in poor English grammar and spelling, claiming that you are involved with some millions from Africa, and you believe it, then you are too dumb to be able to hold onto your cash. Bravo, ABC.

Yeah, Nigerians are hard working people. Working hard at ripping people off.

The real scammers are the Colonialists who stole from Africa, and the oil companies and Airlines who are stealing from Nigeria. ABC, get a grip! Why don’t you do a documentary about the above. Bad, Bad journalism!

I find it interesting that there are a couple of posts from Mike Jones wanting ABC to investigate “Big Businesses” and not foreigners that rip off people in the US. Shouldn’t we pursue ANY/ALL fraud artists?? Sure, the corporations that defraud people, or ravage the countries they are in, should be investigated. But that is not what this piece is about. It is about a specific ONGOING scam that most people are aware of…but not all!!
Older people are usually the ones to fall for this. They are from a different era. More trusting, less aware of the fraud/scasmming going on out there. Heck…the LA Times subscription department scammed my 80+ year old grandparents for multiple subscriptions when their eyesight wouldn’t allow them to read.
This article is about foreigner scammers though…..we should all be reminded/be made aware of their potential.

Funny, i just saw the special the other day on t.v. and i opened up my hotmail today and received one of those letters.. telling me they have 12.5 million from some people that died in a plane crash 6 years ago…

I applaud ABC for yet again exposing these so-called 419 scam artists, and their apparently greedy and conniving victims, all looking to reap where they did not sow. Not equally exposed in the report is the rampant public corruption in Nigeria among its ruling political and bureucratic elites who have for too long plundered the national coffers, and nurtured a very fertile climate for fraud and thievery. In reality, however, the true 419 victims are the millions of honest and hard-working Nigerians at home and abroad who have been unfairly tainted and tarnished by the alarming misdeeds of a few of their countrymen. For as the old Nigerian adage attests, when one finger is coated with palm oil all fingers get soiled. In the final analysis, this apparently unquenchable selfish and self-seeking pursuit of ill-gotten wealth by the 419 scammers and their public service cohorts and enablers have continued, even in this much-heralded era of globalization and outsourcing, to deprive Nigeria of much-needed foreign investments, self-sustaining growth, and job creation.

It’s ammazing how you western media portray Africa. You have nothing good to say other than tragedy or scam. If Sloan had been successful no one would know about the scam. It is pay back for the greedy. The exploitation of the poor countries still continues in his book that’s why he fell for the scam. Sometimes when you think others are foolish, you end up being the most stupid. ABC, spare us and spend the air time on better reporting. Brian Ross, if you problem with any Nigerian find another avenue to get back at him and do not paint the Nation with same brush.

To whomever reading this i’m willing to expose more of these people for I have more than 45 to 60 people awaiting for me to pay money some from 419 to new batch and some from our own allie in Britian. If you are reading this please have Mr.Ross contact me at my e-mail address quickly for I looking forward to a possible clearence for those who already lost thousand to these people.

Am Loving this Long Live NIgeria

Brian Ross’ report reflects the knee jerk shallow approach western media treat serious issues. The entire premise of the story and the manner it was presented is really sad. How come the lady from Alabama was being presented as a victim when if there was any justice in the world-she should be defending herself of attempted money laundering charges. How come the unserious work of a small time Nigerian comediam gets to be presented as the sine qua non of public opinion in Nigeria. How come the one aerial view of Lagos was of the dirtiest part-to reflect that ingrained positioned Brian Boss has always had of places like Nigeria,i can think of many places in the US that are not far from that-skid row in LA etc. I dont think the one shot Brian would show of DC will be of the SE districts.
Fighting E-mail fraud is similar to the unwinnable wars against illicit drugs and identity fraud-you keep trying against all odds just to limit it. Contrary to what Brian Ross claimed Americans are not delibrately targeted,I am a US citizen of Nigerian origin and my 79 year old mother in a little village in Nigeria gets the same e-mails!! Suprised Brian-she does have e-mail contrary to the myopic cuisine small minded journalist like Brian feed the American people that good cannot be found in other places. The BBC stories on this same topic are always more incisive because they have local jounalist on ground who give it a rounded perspective.
Rather than buying special ipods to ‘save’ Africans from AIDS just click delete on your e-mail box to deny the scumbag in Nigeria who sits all day in from of a computer screen sending e-mails to greedy westerners who ignore all the typos in the letter and send a token hoping to scheme a very poor country of monies that should have been used to do fight the same AIDS.
I wonder what contribution Brian really made,the few guys the show exposed in the states,he allowed to walk away free.hmmnnn perhaps he hopes to get a follow-up when the guys ahve defrauded more gullible people.How irresponsible,i hope you wont point your fingers at Nigerians for that.

This report made me SICK TO MY STOMACH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I cannot believe how 20/20 made my ppl look. Bedside the fact that they’re scammers ALL OVER THE WORLD….20/20 had the NERVE to say “Nigerians live off a dollar a week” Where the hell are you all getting your facts from?? Then, you said “Lagos is a disgrace of a city” How dare you!!!!!! Everytime I even repeat those words, it nearly brings a tear to my eye!!!
I will never watch 20/20 the same again!!!!!!!

The people of Nigeria deserve an apology. Brian Ross you are a stupid man.

In case I did not make this clear in my comment, Brian Ross needs to issue an apology as well as clarification on the false or exaggerated parts of his “investigation.”

I am quite disturbed by your unfair and distorted reporting on the 419 scam problem in Nigeria. Your collaboration with the EFCC does not give you any more credibility. As a Nigerian, I am quite offended and disturbed by the racist tone of your summation of my country. Mr Brian Ross, if you were aware the role Lagos has played in your existence you wouldn’t have the balls to dismiss it as “..a crime ridden, disgrace of a city..” That crime ridden, disgrace of a city has one of the biggest economies in Africa with investments in real estate, banking, raw materials, goods and services, automobiles, commercial products, etc. Lagos is the gateway to the oil that you proudly use to gas up your car. 419 Scamming is a two way process, it is not just fair to say that there is a victim and a victor. Both are victors because they both have intents to defraud a process, let us be fair in our assessments. Your report will have had more credibility if you never made generalizations, lambasted both parties as criminals, showcased also how the west plays us for the “Mogo” or “419″, and how honest Nigerian citizens are making a living despite the supposed $1 a day living expense rating we have. Wake up Brian Ross, you call yourself a reporter. A reporter should never be biased or allow his emotions to decide his reporting, a good reporter must have his facts straight and present it clearly, a good reporter should be fair, and a good reporter must abide by some code of ethics, all of which you have failed miserably. God Bless you Mr Brian Ross, I really wish you the best in life. Next time you go to Nigeria, call me, I will give you a tour around Nigeria, especially in Lagos, it is not what you see that decides, it is what you know and experience. Nigeria is a great country, it might be corrupt just like any other country, but it also contains some of the honest, brightest, intelligent, hardworking, and visionary individuals you could ever find.

I too am glad that there are still people in the world who see through this farce of a piece claiming to be “investigative”. Mr. Ross, you and ABC should be ashamed of yourselves for this horribly pieced together, unbelievably biased and offensive piece. If ABC wants to run a story on scams, it must be done right, plain and simple. ABC must call a spade a spade and that means assigning equal responsibility for the crimes taking place, not fallaciously pitting one as victim and one as criminal. Moreover, the story must be told in its entirety, not some haphazard attempt to hastily throw together a piece condemning an entire nation because Ross as a reporter is too lazy to do an actual investigation.
I suspect Mr. Ross was simply too lazy to fully pursue a legitimate story. Instead, he succumbed to the temptation to play on stereotypes and tell outright lies laced with his own ethnocentric prejudice to tell the story that HE wanted to be told, not the story that NEEDED to be told.
And lest people think this is just an issue of Nigerians getting offended, it’s a matter a principle and it effects EVERY country (primarily third world) that lack the resources to adequately catalyze a counter-dialogue to the slander that takes place in the media. These countries are sick and tired of being treated as monoliths of corruption, criminality and essentially everything that is wrong with the world and please believe, their voices will be heard loud and clear.
Mr. Ross, you have messed with the wrong group this time. Nigerians in the United States collectively have the highest income and levels of education of almost every other group in this country. It would be foolish of you or ABC to believe that they will get away with such shameful behavior.

I got several of these emails, some of which still lodge in my email response box. I always response my telling them I’ll send the FBI to follow up on them.

This is just some more propaganda about poor countries being “bad” and the white decent america being “good”.
I was so disgusted by that program….I am sure that if we did an expose on AMERICAN fraud and scammers….a 5hr slot would be required. In fact! somebody should!…any takers?
And the people who send money to STRANGERS on the premise of getting MORE Money?…enough said.

It’s a wonder that anyone with more then a 6th grade education would be caught in such scams.
Ever heard of Darwinism? The feeble (of mind) are doomed to disappear in favor of people who actually THINK.
If you can loose 300K on such a scheme, you really dont deserve to complain about it; The good doctor should be shamed by his gullability. But his tolerance for appearing stupid is obviously surmounted by his desire to have his face on TV…
Should we really sympatize with wealthy people scammed because they wanted MORE money?
Greed is evil, supidity is no excuse.

Anyone who spends 340,000 based on emails, is a dimwit. If anyone is still using this doctor to treat them they are also a dimwit.

Wait a minute, how could one be fooled like that.Scams have been going on from all over the world, even from America. Listen, ” IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE,YOU BETTER NOT BE INVOLVED IN IT”
People should not think all Nigerians are into scams. I work with some hardworking,honest, educated Nigerians in this country. Your documentary is good Mr Ross, but don’t put up a bad image on some of these wonderful citizens and their country.

$1 a day? please give me a break.

I agree with everyone who knows what greed is and now so does the “good” Dr. I feel for his plight but he should reflect on this and instead be an example to those that turn their back on Nigeria i.e. the wack journalist and scamming oil companies. How dare you portray this great country and its powerful people insuch light. Yes my home country is financially behind but if you do your research you will know that this nation is full of potential and massive wealth. It is up to my generation and the ones to come to show you and that time will be near soon. The petroleum America is addicted to is here and American companies have been exploiting our natural resources for a long time; Shell and ExxonMobil have made trillions in this country and yet have FAILED to give back a Dime, where is the reporting on that? The country needs steady electricity, water, medical institutions, educational intitutions. Yes this is a country filled with Black/Brown faces is that why you propagate negative reports and comments. And that is vey sad in this millenium a country that has so much to give still contains such racism and prejudice. When Nigeria becomes a force in this economical playing field and it will become that; maybe that is when you IRRESPONSIBLE JOURNALISTS/ABC will recognize the errors of your ways. You have no Ethics and you are in a media field that should have very strong morals/ethics- who in the heck allowed you to air this garbage on nat’l t.v.? they too should be reprimanded as well. There are scammers everywhere in this world! What dummy doesn’t know that so how dare you to pinpoint one place and condemn the proud people of that country. I hope you never step foot into MY COUNTRY AGAIN!!

For warning people about scammers, I bear you no grudge. For a very inequitable report on Nigerians and of the city of Lagos, there I grudge you. You really didn’t do your homework well, before writing a piece or an article a journalist ought to have properly investigated the source, before showing it or writing it. Imagine you saying there is even a song that celebrates “419″ I hope he gets money from you for using his song and placing it on the internet. Nigerians don’t celebrate criminal act, we are against it. In the nineties CBN (Central Bank of Nigeria) placed a half page ad in a major U.S newspaper explaining the scam and warning people against it, just as the Oct. 27 1998 issue of the Los Angeles times did. Pray thee tell Brian Ross, how are Nigerians celebrating 419? Your country people have been warned about this and yet they keep falling for it over and over again. Greed and Stupidity. You just didn’t bother to investigate your story or source. After all they’re Nigerians, right? You are just an ignorant fellow. Well we love our country just as you love yours, and we are hurt by your predisposed words, denigration and condemnation of our beloved country. You and ABC owe us (Nigerians) an apology.
Having said that, God is love and we ought to love each other and respect each other. God bless.

“Mugu pass Mugu”,common sense ain’t common.Only selfish and gridy individuals will fall for these scammers.How on earth can someone send you an email thousands of miles away asking you to help him/her collect some money from the bank which he can’t.The best way out of this scam stuff is to pass a law ILLIGALIZING the scam practice by both parties(Mugus,The Lazy folks and the gridy folks).
It should be made clear that Nigerians are not the only ones practicing scamming.
For the gridy mugus,”BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU HAVE”
For the Lazy Mugus “ADMIRER THOSE WHO HAVE,and WORK FOR YOURS”

“A baiter”, “1/2 of Nigeria” logged on to “gripe” about this story because of the principle of the matter. Unfortunately, you are ignorant to the many fallacies and falsehoods told in the story, i.e. Nigerians hail 419ers as “folk heroes”, Lagosians live off of $1 a day, and the song “I Go Chop your Dollar” is making fun of greedy Americans. These are just a tidbit of the falsities of the story, not to mention Mr. Ross’s obvious prejudice labeling an entire city a “disgrace of a city”. The bottom line, THIS IS NOT JOURNALISM! No one disputes the fact that scams exist, but this is simply an example of the western media categorically demonizing an ENTIRE country for the actions of a few. If an investigative story is to be conducted, it must be done in it’s entirety and it must be done thoroughly!
And you are a prime example of the ignorance of Americans and how easy it is for them to make assumptions about an entire country based on a poorly, disgustingly executed story on “Nigerian scammers”. And if it’s “typical corruption of any country….” as you said, why does Mr. Ross’s investigative piece note even TOUCH on that point?? Why does it only seek to slander one particular ENTIRE country! Why does it not focus on the so-called “victims” as criminals as well? I know why, because Mr. Ross couldn’t possibly put anything in this story that would make white gullible mugus look like criminals. Please. This is a matter of principle. And Americans wonder why the rest of the world thinks they are fools…

In response to Ace – I don’t think that the scammers are the small minority. There are too many of them, and they are part of major organized international crime. Many of the scams run out of the US and UK are nigerian expats. When you bait these vermin, you can follow the tracks back. I suspect they don’t represent most of Nigeria, since most are outside the cities, but they are certainly the most public face of that country.
Unlike many of the posters, I have travelled through Africa (working, not as a tourist) so I’ve seen the condition of things. Angola, Gabon and Congo for example, none of which I’m in any hurry to return to. I’ve experienced the crime and corruption firsthand, police robbing people at gunpoint, shooting people they don’t like, etc.
In any case, if Nigeria wants to do something about its image, it could certainly start by cleaning up the scammers instead of taking kickbacks to protect them. It probably wouldn’t hurt either if the US and UK law enforcement could be bothered to arrest and deport the ones that have set up shop in their countries.

Why weren’t those two scammers Dr Sloan cuffed and stuck in Jail right then and their? they should have been.Shame on them and Dr Sloan for being so calice and greedy

The arrogance of some people astounds me. It is unfortunate when anyone is ripped off, but to discriminate against all Nigerians is just as ignorant as the 20/20 broadcast, and in the grand scheme of things, who cares? If you get hurt by a man, will you never speak to any man again? Who are you hurting? And for people who think that Nigerians target Americans because they hate and envy them, you need a reality check. In general, when foreigners dislike Americans, it’s because of their arrogance. Many Americans think they are better than foreigners, and those Americans give all Americans a bad name. A prime example is Brian Ross. He does not respect Nigerians, which is why he aired that garbage broadcast he calls investigative reporting. Nigerians don’t target Americans because they hate them. Scam artists target anyone who they think they can scam, regardless of race or ethnicity. 20/20 did you all a disservice by feeding lies into your head. The biggest victims of 419 in Nigeria are Nigerians! Of course Brian Ross did not show that because who cares if Nigerians are getting scammed? He tells you that you are the targets of Nigerians and you believe it because you already have it in your head that you are better than everyone else so they must hate and envy you. Please.

I’ve had a scammer from nigeria try to bug me on yahoo IM for days and days, I lead him on for a while while I contacted all the authorities I could think of. No one did anything and yahoo wouldn’t even ban his yahoo IM name despite my repeated complaints. If you fall for these you’re gullible and possibly greedy, but that’s still not reason enough to let anyone become a victim of fraud.

Mr. Brian Ross, I was quite shocked and offended at the comments you made during the 419 scam documentary. Particularly, the comment of Lagos being a “disgrace” of a city was uncalled for and showed your lack of objectivity. I understand that the majority of the 419 scam artists are Nigerian, but was it necessary to repeatedly refer to them as “Nigerian scammers”? No. I think it is important to use a more specific characterization (such as “419 scammers”) that does not stigmatize a whole nation of people (many of whom are not 419 scam artists). ABC, if it is to maintain its credibility, should release a second report clearing up the misconceptions and inaccuracies that were presented in this report.

there is a saying it takes two to tango, it takes a greedy prson to fall for such scam. i am a nigerian and i know i wont fall for such, because i dont intend to reap where i dont sow. i am also disappointed that abc did not hand over the two greedy persons to the police.

The postings I have read here blame the interviewer for reporting it, the victim for falling for it, or even past inequities between governments so make it sound like getting even.
Stealing is wrong, and whatever rationalizations have been made, these Nigerians are thieves.
I have no respect for the posters sympathizing with the scammers.
Their complicty makes them theives too, there is NO EXCUSE for stealing, no matter from who, no matter the circumstance.

today i checked my mailbox and i got 4 mails from these people..it was so funny b/c they still continue to send these mails…how interesting!!!

I am getting so much email scam…from men who want to take care of me and love me then need money to get back homw thousands of dollars…the latest one is from a dr who claims to have 18.5m that someone with a last name as mine died and left….now what do I do with these fools beside deleting them the lastest one got my email address from the realtors association..does that mean that I am greedy??? I feel like a cheat date that my name is passed around for a good time….please direct me where to send these fools too.

Basically the BBC did expose the scammers in Nigeria on October 4, 2007 and the stories were printed in the British media.Also the Nigerian scammers and their families were involved of trafficking human beings to the New World for 400 years and they are responsible for the state of their actions. They are involved of committing 419 Nigerian scams in order to steal other people’s ID and used thuggery and violence.
