Check out www.quatloos.com for this and other financial scams (Disclaimer:
no affiliation, I do not and have never lived in Nigeria, I am related to
anyone in Nigeria that I know of, and I have never been involved in a
Nigerian financial scam, or I'd probably have a lot of money, which I don't.)
Nigerian Scam a/k/a 4-1-9 Scam
Those wacky Nigerians are at it again! Help them get $40 million out of
their country and you will get a $12 million commission, but don't spend
the money just yet. Would you believe this scam is the 3rd largest industry
in Nigeria!?!
