LOL!

There for a second I was thinking "OMG- please don't tell me someone actually got a ton of money from this and I lost my chance".

I guess I shouldn't feel relief to learn that now there's even a bigger scam. Thanks for sharing though- some of the job ads I've responded to have turned out to be major scams, too. I've gotten emails saying in order for me to be considered, I need to give them my SS# and bank acct number. Yeah right.

A Nigerian banker with a gmail account - who knew. If you are going to falsely represent that you are the U.N. Secretary General, at least get the spelling of the name right -there is supposed to be a dash between KI and Moon

What is sad that, even with the poor spelling and structure of sentances, there will be some silly people to whom who this makes complete sense. and who will answer their email.

If I had all of the relatives in Nigeria who claim to want to leave/give me millions of dollars, I could buy and sell Donald Trump. However, I don't recall any of my Russian Jewish grandparents mentioning the Nigerian connection to me. I also don't quite buy the cousins in Yemen, Ghana, Liberia or the other places where they supposedly want to send me money.

I used to feel sorry for people that got scammed by these people, but after so many years of hearing about this, anyone who actually send them their SSN and bank info almost deserved to get ripped off. Even my 6th grader knows they're phony.

ROFL---I've gotten two emails lately purportedly from friends who are stranded and need money sent to them. It's a total scam so be on the look out for that one, too.
