Inherit any money that you can't get out of the country?

Need my account number to laundry money through?

    I used to get emails 10 or 12 years ago. Loved them. I could keep them going for weeks.

    :D:D:D As a Nigerian I'm here for the hilarity. My entire country has been labelled as fraudsters. LOL if you think those emails are funny you'd get a laugh from some of the stories people came up to me with while I was visiting.

    Could you please be less gorgeous next time you post?

    OP...I used to get those emails all the time, my poor mother had to be educated about WHICH emails not to fall for!

    Ahahah! I swear 1/10 Nigerians are either royalty or related to royalty in some way. My "grand uncle" on my mothers side is the king of where I'm from. Which means absolutely nothing for me other than having a mandatory ridiculously lavish wedding.

    Btw LOVE Aladdin.

    A girl I once worked with fell for a scam where a "Nigerian priest" was selling purebred Siberian Husky puppies. We all told her it's a scam. She argued that the guy is "really genuine - he's a priest!"

    She sent him $300 for the puppy. Then she sends him $200 more because "the puppy broke out of its crate and needs a new one".

    THEN she sent another couple hundred because of some other ridiculous made up thing, but she was able to retract that last couple hundred soon enough after she finally realized there was no damn puppy.

    The real kicker is, this dumb b**** worked at an animal shelter of all places. Should have just adopted a freaking puppy!!

    The best was the episode of Dr. Phil where some lady got catfished by a guy passing himself off as a special forces guy named...wait for it...MAX MOOSE ADVISOR.

    She said "I thought it was one of those crazy Southern names!"

    And now I have my name for if/when I end up in witness protection.
