Any legit Nigerians??? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

So whilst fucking around with some Nigerian who wants to buy my Canon Rebel I thought...

Are there any legit Nigerians who actually try to purchase something online? I can't imagine the trouble they'd have to go through... Waiting for their xbox to show up only to find a cardboard box markered up to look like a 360 and a note that reads "fuck your mother."

I feel bad for those poor rich Nigerian princes who want to purchase something legitimately from us.

My good friend I grew up with (who's away playing soccer) said that no one takes him seriously when he wants to buy stuff...It's the worst, he has to give his girlfriend the money, and then she buys stuff online.

I suppose there are. They have 10million internet users, although its only 6.8% of their total population. The US has 74.1% of the population on the internet.

List of countries by number of Internet users - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I get those emails here at work all the time.
They humor me. The English always seems like it was written circa 1920 and full of typos.

I knooooow!

My favorite part of an email that you receive from "[email protected]" which is actually one of the scammers.

"All you need to do is just to provide us with the shipment reference/tracking number for verification because we have a numbers of complains from our numerous customers concerning how Buyers rip Sellers and Sellers rip Buyers, we are hereby using this opportunity to inform you that your payment for your item has been made and to all rest assured you that your money is in safe hands because your payment has passed through our security department and has been approved for crediting as soon as we receive the shipment reference/tracking number for verification you will have your account credited immediately."

LOL! How professional. Also note: that's ONE sentence.
