Nigerian Scam Boosted by Recession
Last Friday mailman was looking for a signature. He had important certified mail to deliver.
Surprisingly it was a request for cash. One of our employees had a terrible accident in Lagos, Nigeria. Yeah…one of our employees we never had…was traveling to Nigeria…got hurt during a safari [lol], contacted a fellow American for help and now we should send an urgent Western Union to pay for a return ticket. Can’t stop laughing…
Ok, now – who can fall for this? Who would actually send $750 via Western Union to Nigeria for an unknown/inexisting employee?! One other thing I still don’t get – certified mail costs more than an email. Why would they ‘invest’ in a hopeless scam?
Beats me. I posted the actual scans because they are a real piece of [scam] art.

Solid business model. $4 invested for a potential $750 ROI.
Our country had been so much affected by this Economic Recession. there are lots of job cuts and company shutdowns. We are seeing some signs of economic recovery right now and we hope that it would continue.
:
during the height of the economic recession, our online and offline business in the US have suffered some major drop in sales. now our sales are getting slowly back to normal.
Our home business was really affected by the Economic recession, we have to cut jobs just to cover up our losses. fortunately, we have already recovered. |
there are so many scams running on the internete so watch out~~:
