The Amazing Prose Of The Nigerian Money Scam Emails

from the scary dept

A fun article from someone who seems to be a bit obsessed about the famous Nigerian money scam emails (also known as the 419 scam) that has been around for ages (it used to be faxed). The writer seems to collect them, and points out that every one he receives is different, and involves a different set of characters and plot twists. He talks about how the literature of them makes them worth reading. I think he needs a different hobby to occupy his time.
