It's true! A 4-wheeling friend just told me he received a letter from the Nigerian Internal Affairs folks. They told him they arrested hundreds of people who were scamming foreigners. They are sitting on millions of confiscated dollars of money that had been collected from foreigners as fees, but they don't know who exactly because of poor or no records. They found his name in the scammer records however, and are going to split the money with him and some other people........
It's so funny. A new slant on the old scam.
Gee, I must have missed mine. Could be right under the message about the pictures of mine someone posted...You know the ones ???
Do we have to send any money in to get ours back... do you have an address? [waiting]
Wait, you mean the king of nigeria isn't REALLY going to send my $196 million dollars?
I thought he was the president of the US, Eddie...... [waiting]
Oh no..... Sorry Eddie, I'm all mixed up - he's from Kenya..... I keep getting my African states mixed up.... ::)
Wonder how many people will fall for this one?
It is amazing, but probably some...... victims of the dumbing down of America... [waiting]
Dumb, or just greedy?
Oh gee...you're getting refund email...I got this today

That's a no brainer! ;D
They are both thieves, the IRS is just better at it.
The government hates competition too.
