Umm, Nigeria is in Africa. Most of us have already had it.
There was a news item on CNN last Fall about someone who got drawn in for
more than $60,000. and when he realized it was a scam, he found the sender
and shot him (supposedly the Embassy Office was somewhere close to where he
lived-- he didn't have to go to Africa -- lucky that.) He's expected to
be released in ~2022. But there should be one *Less Assistant to the
Nigerian Prime Minister knocking around.
*Any **unsolicited Charity, Money Laundry, Secret Diamond Mine, 'Please
help me and You'll be Rich' Mail is a SCAM. I think Above one is listed
under Google as the "Nigerian Embassy Fraud" or Nigeria Diamond Mine? G./
