[ILUG] CONFIDENTIAL - From Nigeria with love ( gearán beag)

unusually this one includes a telephone and fax number - anyone fancy

fake details)

I have heard that some suprisingly intelligent people fall for these cons
I presume it is the huge sums of money that they fall for (greed).
you would think that anybody offered 20% of that sum for being an
"investment adviser" would know something is up.
McIntyre did a program on these, quite interesting to see how they operate.
