HHAHHAHAHAH! Couldn't they have at least used a realistic amount of money?


I always crack up when I read these, the grammar is so horrible, yet they try to make it sound so proper.


Has anyone seen district 9 yet? For those of you that have, I thought it was sooooooo funny that they had Nigerians that were scamming the aliens! So f'ing classic!

When anyone hears "Nigerian", I bet they all automatically think "Scam", no matter what the context is, real life or online... Even if someone isn't trying to sell you anything, even if they are just from Nigeria, you still automatically think "Dear Sir, I am trying to find someone to help me withdraw 34 million dollars but cannot because of my state for I need a foreigner to withdraw my help", or something of that nature.

Sadly I tried hard to make that grammatically incorrect, but even my attempt isn't as bad as their attempts.


Seriously, try it! Try to reproduce one of these Nigerian scam emails... Attempt to mimic their bad grammar. It's hard!
