Why the heck is it always Nigeria. I work at a Bike Shop and i kept getting a call from a "disabled" person in Nigeria wanting me to ship a bike and some accesories to them. The reason i say disabled is because they kept using the operator that translates what they type, therefore i could not hear the voice of the potential buyer. blah Nigeria.

Apparently he's still burning from the fact that he got scammed instead of him scamming you.

I wonder if there are any poor souls in Nigeria who actually are honest and try to buy stuff but then get scammed

Pray he doesn't find you laughing at him on this thread. Nigerians are very close-knit and can often summon contacts stateside for contract hits.

Forward his email to the FBI. I don't think they like people making death threats and using the Mafia from other countries. heh.

You should write him back and tell him he needs new mafias because the other ones didn't show up. :D

I'm sure they were held up at customs by the incorrect declaired value on their FedEx box.

They should make this reverse scamming into a undercover tv shows, with cops involved. Itll be like that Cheaters tv show.
