My brother i pity for our country,because today thier is noting you can do with a Nigerian passport,just because of few group of Nigerian. But i dont blame them that much, i blame our heartless government that cares only for themselfs,if a graduate with first class cant get a job,talk more of school drop out, what do u expect them to do to survive.

Perhaps you’d be interested in my new book Tuesdays with Mantu, My Adventures with a Nigerian Con Artist. It’s what happens when a smart ass advertising writer turns the tables on those Nigerian 419ers.

The book has been featured on KABC Talkradio and is currently excerpted in last month’s issue of FAST COMPANY magazine.

my sister cried “oh my god you need to check out this article I just read”
After reading it I believe that I was on my way to being taken for everything.
Newly divorced and still devasteated .lonli and needing a little love I answered am e-mail who promptly began to tell me everything I needed to hear
Your beautiful ,I could fall for you with all your sensativity,your a real woman.
We talked for weeks then he informed me he was loosing his cable and our chats would end.i was devastated.He asked me if i could send the money for now he would give it back.I got out my card and began to send it western unionBut for somereason my card would not go thru.Not for lack of money! i tried again It was the same DECLINED.
When I told him he seemed abit miffed.then suggested I mail it then and he gave me his home address.
I started to think and told myself this didnt sound right so I didnt do it.
He asked me to ask my family for money and pay for his flight here so we could be together ,He said he was an accountant by trade but since he was originally born in texas he was a US citizen and could not work there .But when he came here he would make good money and we could buy a house.
Im so thankful my sister warned me or I may have ended up loosing all that I have left to survive.

This is one case where complaining will cause the scammer spammer great deal of trouble. Most of the scammers use Hotmail or Yahoo addresses which they advertise in the spams for replies. Complaining to the abuse department at these free providers usually gets these addresses shut down very quickly. Once the email address is shut down, the entire spam run is rendered completely usesless.

The object is to complain as quickly as possible so that the spam run does not net any idiots’ money. Unfortunately, I have been list washed from the scammers idiot list, so I have not received any 419 spams in quite some time.
