how very racist,i am a Nigerian,I'm proud of it and so what if you have been ripped of by a Nigerian before just because 1 Nigerian ripped you off doesn't mean all Nigerian will rip you i on the other hand have been ripped many of times by a mass of countries including British and American
that doesn't make me think all American or all British are criminals who will Rip me off if you wanna see real ripping off try playing runescape. this is the stuff the likes of Malcolm x died for so i don't think it is right just to say its only Nigeria who rip you off i mean common you must have been ripped off by some other countries
words from the wise.

No one is born hating another person because of the colour of his skin, or his background, or his religion. People must learn to hate, and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.

No, but I just got one of the Nigerian "419 scam" letters in my inbox......Always good for a laugh.
You mean I wasn't supposed to send my bank details?
Take a gander at the latest.......
Hello Dear,
compliment of the season .I write to propose a confidential great deal of co-operation to you and it should treated as such.
I am mr.Goodluck Kalu,the senior personal assistant and cousin to Dr.Orji Uzoh Kalu,the presidential candidate of peoples progressive party{PPA} and two time Governor of Abia State of Nigeria from may 29th 1999 to may 29th 2007.
Now that he is no longer the governor,he has been arrested by the Economic and Financial Cime Commision EFCC OVER ALLERGED LOOTING AND EMBEZZLEMENT OF PUBLIC FUND.He has since been detained and put behind bars over a 49 count charges.
Now, the EFCC does not know that there is another account he has through me.The money involve here is fifty five million united states dollars 55,000,000 USD.I found out that the best thing to do is to find a foreign partner to do the deal with since the government denied me and other close aid access travelling abroad till the case is over.
your contact was as a result of the research we made through your countries commerce and industries for very important and trustwardy personels.So the remmittance of this money will be at once so as to void the EFCC from knowing anything about the account or freezes it.
If you are interested in this lucrative deal,you will be given 25% of the total fee,70% for us and 5% may be for possible transfer fee.Let me here from you urgently.
Best regards,
Mr.Goodluck Kalu

Yes I have! Luckily I only lost $100, but I could have lost more than $300. I got suspicious early on in the transaction, so my loss was minimal. It involved the purchase of a purebred puppy...I was so suspicious, I cancelled the transaction but he said he would send the dog first and then I can pay him. He supposidly sent the dog. He had someone working with him on this deal as I received an email from the London airport stating they had to hold the dog for 3 days because the seller did not send the vet certification with the dog, etc., etc., they kept asking for money to care for the dog while they were holding it, etc. BEWARE OF ANY AND ALL EMAILS FROM LONDON OR NIGERIA.

Sure has not been a lack of Nigerian scammers trying to rip me off.
I figure a quarter of the entire population of Nigeria has written to me asking for help in squirreling out funds they have hidden away.
Wow, those Nigerians sure are wealthy - all of them are rich businessmen, political leaders, military officers, or heirs to vast fortunes!
I simply delete them, but for fun I may read one or two of them from time to time, just to see what spin they come up with that's innovative and new.

Hi!
No I haven't thank goodness!
But I saw on ebay the other day a seller stating that under no circumstances should anyone from Nigeria place a bid!!
It made me laugh out loud!!
Thought it was quite funny!

Mike
I'm a bit lost there, mate. Are you saying Malcolm X died in defence of Runscape, and was not killed by members of his own movement in retaliation for his decision to turn his back on the idea of armed conflict?

Usually its a fake address from Nigeria but they can be anywhere in the world. I know ebay users have a big problem with this, try to avoid these addresses.
