    The entire country of Nigeria is a scam. And they are getting very good at it. I got an e-mail from a friend saying he had his wallet stolen in London and needed me to wire him some money so he could settle his hotel bill. A VERY believable e-mail. Turns out Nigerians had hacked into his e-mail account and had read all his e-mails, knew his itinerary, words he used, etc. A very, very slick scam. I actually called London to find him. I only found out about it when I researched the address of the hotel and it turned out to be an address very near the hotel, but NOT the hotel.

    Almost all the African countries have scams coming out of them... Once requested money wired to Republic of Benin. Nigerian sent twice what I was asking in money order...called the money order issuer...they were not valid numbers.
