how refreshing to know that
April 8, 2003
how refreshing to know that the nigerian spam scam people are doing a bit of research and evolving with the times.
not only does the amount of money they have keep increasing (i remember a few years back when all they had was a measly 1 million), but now theyre playing the religion card:
Beloved in Christ, [...] I was converted from Moslem to Christian when I was preached the words of God. I then gave my life to Christ and became a born again Christain.
having gotten the email address from my works site (a Christian non-profit), the email was slightly tailored to our ministry:
I made up my mind and decided to sow this money into your ministry.
im kind of impressed.
but equally bothered that he (yekini abiodun) has a wife and child with nice, white Christian names: cynthia and stephanie.

i got one this morning from a "guy" claing he was the son of a coffee and cocoa baron or something in africa, and that his whole family was killed. so that's the premise for asking me to help him move this money. same scam, different story.
