Absolutely hilarious stuff. :D

I always hear this scam referred to as the "Nigerian" scam.

I suppose it is a variant of the pigeon drop scam.

Your right, I googled it and found that it is a Nigerian scam.

I found one similar to the one I recieved, just that this one differs a bit in that her father was not poisioned, but that her late father's relatives want to eliminate her.......
