Another fool scammed out of his money ( well, in fact he scammed the money out of others and was then ripped off himself ) in a Nigerian 419 scam. Just a little note to y’all out there : emails promising you squillions for helping in a money transfer always end up this way. The first one of these I got was back in 1988 in snail mail and I must get 10 a day via email currently. What’s even worse is that I know a listed company that went bust after putting $ 20 million into one of these things.
Oh, and the latest character ? Yes, a Professor at Harvard. Once again proof that intelligent and smart are not the same thing. Something to remember next time a Professor tells us how to run the economy eh ?
