    Has any one talked to any of these Nigerian Business men?
    I have been in discussion with one and he is offering me 10% of 27 million USD i think its a great deal. After a few emails he even gave me his phone number.

    Anyone else had any experience with them?

    Gotta hand it to them.

    They always manage to select me as an individual who is discreet and trustworthy.
    Must be reading my posts on this forum.

    I hope you are kidding.

    Have they asked you to help them with those pesky legal fees and all those officials that need bribing?

    Might be worth doing what Notes_Bloke suggested and going here

    We're just a miserable bunch really.

    When someone emails us out of the blue and offers to give us money for nothing, our brains just can't process the information and we just get grumpy.

    Except for some, who enjoy the experience: http://www.419eater.com/
