So I was bored that day and thought of checking my SPAM mails in case there were some mails that went unnoticed / accidentally labeled as SPAM. To my surprise, apart from those infamous Viagra pills and ‘date hot girls now’ mails, there were tons and tons of emails from my fellow kaigels at Africa and Nigeria. Nearly most of their emails overlap with each other but with different names and different sum ‘to be transferred’ to my bank account.
Since I didn’t knew what to do at that time, I decided to play a game with them. Many of you might have received the same kind of emails and I bet most of you wouldn’t even be bothered to check it out. But how many of you had actually interacted with them and get to know their intention and stupidity? Well, I did. The following is a conversation between me and a scammer from Africa, purportedly dealing to transfer a big sum of money to my bank account.
