A 40-year-old identified only as “Mike” by Nigerian authorities has been arrested as the head of a multi-nation 40-person scam operation.
The self proclaimed Nigerian prince’s e-mail operation is said to be “worth more than $60 million.”
The fraudsters had graduated to malware that would hijack computer systems and send out payment demand e-mails to customers as well as the typical random spam e-mail trolling for victims.
Wait… you mean these are scams?
No wonder I never got my 12 million bucks.
Oh man, I was to get $8 million in a day or two!
I guess “shocked and awe” inherited more than me.
Oh well, I guess I won’t have to pay taxes on it now.
I wonder if the grocery market will take back the steaks I bought in trade for more baloney.
Being Nigerian rats, I hope the authorities bury them in holes large enough for RoUS (Rodents of Unusual Size).
Obviously they did not contact our congressional members or our president.
Shocked & Awed: There must have been a mistake because I got my 12 mil.
Darn, that was how Obama was going to finance his Presidential Libray and Cesspool!
Wait. You mean he really is Nigerian?
I thought Prince died?
Billy- 12 million what?
“Mike”? That’s it? They could have at least called him Nmike.
Hillary will hire him for her campaign, or something.
No word yet on his affiliation with the Clinton Foundation?
izlamo delenda est …
Remember: You can’t spell “Nigerian” without “Ian”.
So now you know who to blame.
😇
Hillary will hire him!
Why arrest him?
He is doing the world a favor by punishing greedy SOB’s that jump at the chance to rip someone off. The ‘someone’ ends up being them.
Sounds like voluntary justice to me.
I received a letter that was actually postmarked from Tanzania in 1999 that had the “create the transfer account” scam. I saved it all these years, and just found it packed away in some junk I was rummaging through a few weeks ago.
