Nigerian Money Scam

Here’s an interesting (and funny) post from Mike Nash (of Online-Armor) on the old “Nigerian Money Scam.”  Remember, sending money to strangers (especially strangers in another country) is bad.

The post.

And an excerpt:

So, I’m sitting there today working on something for a client when I received an unsolicted Skype Message with an “Important Business Proposal”.

I normally mess with these guys a little, just to waste their time , but as I was on the phone to a client I just decided to get rid of him quickly.

As you can see – he was suprisingly honest about his ultimate intentions.
