"I WISH TO ENGAGE YOUR SERVICES TOWARDS RECOVERING A SUBSTANTIAL VOLUME OF MONEY..."

Several times now you've gotten that email scam about millions of dollars - for you! Just waiting in a Nigerian bank! But one recipient tricked the tricksters...

Stringing along the con artists with juvenille scams of his own, he eventually convinced them that he'd need to see photographs to believe they were trustworthy. And perhaps they should speak in coded names? (Good thing they didn't know what "bukakke" meant.)

The tables were turned, the scammers now tantalized by someone else's false promises. Instead of getting the $4500 "application fee" that they'd demanded before transferring the millions - all they got were more and more stupid questions.
