It’s amazing how many African banks have deceased or abandoned accounts isn’t it?
Now Joseph says he discovered the cash at his bank and now he says he has put the money in an Escrow account.
He says if I allow him to name me as the beneficiary there will be no risk. Sounds good doesn’t it? What he means is, he has absolutely no risk of being caught robbing people’s money.

The Nigerian e-mails are not sent as often as they used to be. They
try to instill a sense of officialdom by claiming to be a Senator or
