I don't think he'd get in trouble. The nigerians are the ones that called the address in to fedex. I don't think they'll be giving out any info.

I've often wondered how many scammers there really are in Nigeria. Maybe it's just a handful of dudes scouring the net and sending thousands of emails a day.

nigeria is actually the biggest scam/corruption/etc filled place on earth.

after brazil you mean... 😉


Indonesia is bad too
 
Screw that... send him, dirt. Just a box full o dirt, and then put fish in it. So the dirt will get nice and hot, and then the fish will rot. MMMmmmMMM then urinate in the dirt in the box and close it up.Make sure to seal it nice and good.

To think he'll pay tons of money for.. urine, dirt, and fish.
 
Uh oh, I am being threatend!

I must say he has such a firm grasp on the English language that I would immediately feel at ease shipping his famliy a PS2 to Africa. Nevermind the spelling errors, broken English and formatting! We are truly dealing with a great mind here in the spirit of Hemingway and Faulkner.

Send him a box of rocks and make him pay for shipping when he recieves it.

Remember what happened to pppppowerbook guy? He got murdered by the nigerian scammers 'cause he thought sending a fake ppppppowerbook was funny.
 
I get a funny little feeling and then I remember that Law and Order episode in which a guy sold some playstations to the middle east or africa and got paid really well - because it was illegal becuase of trade laws , something about the proccessors and computer type stuff -

anyone remember this?
