Something Smells Phishy To Me…

Don’t fall for this scam but certainly email Mrs. Kimaeve Lioudmila and suggest to her that she make better use of her time in Hong Kong. It goes to show you that you don’t have to be from Nigeria for it to be labeled a Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud.

A barrister is a lawyer found in many common law jurisdictions.  For as many of these scam letters from Nigerian Barristers I get everyday, one would have to believe at least two things:

1.  There are a lot of highly educated Nigerians.

2.  The need for Barristers in Nigeria, Africa must truly suck if they have nothing better to do all day except sit around, concoct frauds and send out millions of emails.

They also told us that the only problem they are facing right now is that some unscrupulous element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their hard earned money by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central Bank office.

As at the moment Mr Paul Simon may not live for more than two months. He has gone for his first major operation and survived it and in showing appreciation to God for the survival in the operation he now decide to give part of his wealth for the promotion and propagation of God’s work in the area of Charity.
