# there's a generic name

# It's called
a 901 fraud or some other 3 digit number like that

# hey wow!
I got one very similar from a guy called Oloye Benson. Ostensibly a lawyer from Nigeria. He was asking me to hlpe him smuggle millions from his homeland. I played along and had quite a good banter with him. HE wanted me to meet his broker, Mr Wesley, in Amsterdam..and gave me his mobile. Reply to him, Monkeon. See if his response begins with "Sequel o my last correspondence". If it does then it's the same con man.

# I sent him
Justin Topper's horoscope number and told him he'd left his caps lock on.

He hasn't yet replied.

# there was
a program on the BBC about this not so long ago. I think it was put down to unemployment out there, thousands of people do it. I believe the nigerian police have a special department to deal with it all.
