No doubt some have seen these before. Those nice Nigerian bankers (as if) want to give me millions of dosh that's been left in the bank by a client who's been killed in a car crash and not made a will etc. They say that after 4 years the money will belong to the government so the bank manager wants me to become the 'next of kin' so we can split it 60/40. Wow, he'll even get the affidavits done. Oh he needs my address and account details so whose details shall I provide, hmmm.

Here's the managers name James Ajibola and here's his link jamesajibola@myself.com .

Can we think of a good wind up for him?

Yeah, but lets see if we can sucker them back.

What do you reckon, play along for a while, then say you want to set up an account specially for him, but tell him you need a small deposit (say £10) to se the account up.

If he provides it keep pestering him for small monies, if he doesn't, threaten to use you ties with the CIA to make America invade his country or something.

Just waste his time. He's scum trying to con innocent people out of their money. As there's no way to get him arrested you may as well make his life difficult.

Read the link, that's excellent but I wouldn't have that amount of patience.
