I got an email from a very kind, and in my opinion entirely trustworthy Nigerian individual saying I won the Nigerian Lottery. I admit, I didn’t buy a ticket, but I guess their lottery system is different to ours. He said he needs money just to pay admin fees etc. At first this was £5000. I figured, if I lost that amount, the risk:reward is good enough to justify it. The he said there was exchange release fees of £10000. I just about had it, and I paid it. Now he wants another £600’000 which I will get back with the £16m in October 2008.
I’m at my wits end. How do I get access to £600’000. I am so close to the £16m I can almost smell it. I’ve pawned my watch, an antique family heirloom, Casio calculator from the 1980s, pretty much all my other assets, and I have loan sharks maybe lending me the rest. The interest will be 35% pa. but with 16m I should comfortably pay that off !
what else can I do to raise the funds? any ideas? I already took out a mortgage on my house and sent the money. I just need £37000 more but I don’t have anything else to sell for money! I even sold my car.
help?
Nigerians are scam artists. They use CSD Relay, a call center I used to work at, to scam people for their credit card information and use stolen information to buy things and have it sent to them in Nigeria. Don’t do this, you’d have to be an idiot to believe something like this.
wow way to buy into the scam, he’s getting rich off of you.
noooo, do not pay for crap man!
i’ve gotten those types of emails and it is not legit. if you won, there is no reason for you to pay if you won… stupid email and foreign people!
i hope to god that you didn’t waste your money…
Hahaha nice joke. Everybody knows that the fake Nigerian lottery is just a guy sending out bogus emails from a computer in Nigeria to get suckers to send them money. Anybody who sends them money loses all their money.
how about selling ur body for sex?
Sorry, but these kinds of scams don’t belong on Yahoo Answers.
are u serious? sorry but u got scammed.
Apparently you’ve bought a dictionary since you last started asking questions. So did you move from Georgia when the Russians invaded? And did you finally figure out where babies come from? You need help alright, but if you are looking for saps to send you the money you are barking up the wrong tree. I don’t know what you smell, but it’s not money.
It’s a scam please do not fall for this which I get the feeling you don’t need me telling you this because you already know.
Have any kids? I hear those are really going for some good money these days! Or kidneys or testicles!
Sorry pal.. you just got scammed..
There is no money coming.. you haven’t won the lottery.. you just got scammed out of all that money.
I am surprised people still fall for this scam.. its so old..
You couldn’t see those red flags!!
no
Oooooohhhhh JUST the kind of perfectly safe investment with awesome up side potential.
I will loan you the cash this week, you give me 25% of the earnings.
If that works for you, send me $5,000 (US) so I can process the 600,000 pounds for you.
