I'd make a great Nigerian scammer

[el-Ignoramus]

So last time I was in bangkok a Thai friend of mine introduced me to an African friend of his - whom he admitted that he knew little about- just because he was African and so am I so in a sense we're brothers

We all went out for cheap Thai green curry and bla bla bla, The nigerian guy asks for my contacts so I only gave my facebook page which contains no real or contact info about myself, but I still use it for communication with friends

Ten days later -this morning- the nigerian guy send me a message saying how happy he was to meet another African brother and he's like to have my Skype to chat, honestly I'm not much into chatting programs and might use MSN once a year just to let my enemies know I'm still alive, so I told him that I don't use said programs and he can stay in touch through facebook.

Then he send me a message stating that he's been in too much pain for the past two weeks (?) and when he went to the hospital they diagnosed him with a ruptured appendix (??????) and they need to operate immediately on him in fear for his health (????????????????) and he wishes if I could help him since he's not insured and they want about 15,000 Bahts ~ 500 US$


Now I'm really considering educating him about the severity of a ruptured appendix and how he can't have survived it enough to communicate over facebook, and educate him about the Alvarao points system, and the different signs and symptoms like Rovsing's and Posoas and Kosher...etc

then it hit me, I'd do a great Nigerian scammer, I could be the brains behind an international scamming enterprise, proof their techniques and come up with newer ones than the fabled General/Vice President/Prince with a misplaced fund.

Thoughts??

There seems to be a thread like this every few months or so in here...but I'll say it again. Ebola Monkey Man beat you all to this punch many moons ago.

Very entrepreneurial El! Wayy to go..

Just in case.. I'm taking a snapshot of this page.. and probably might sell it to wikileaks or something.. I could certainly use the extra income/publicity.

Nothing I say nor do is Wikileaks worthy.
