You mean there aint a zillion dollars sitting in a bank
just waiting for me........
I’m shocked.......!
I owned a small financial services company in 1989. One day I got a typewritten 2-page letter, with the pages attached by a straight sewing pin. It was mailed from Nigeria, and was a classic Nigerian scam.
I had never heard of such a scam before, but after checking around to see whether we should make the investment, we decided against it.
So we didn’t lose any money in my first Nigerian scam solicitation.
But we did lose our shirts a few years later and had to put our company into state receivership. But that’s another story.
