Nigerian ‘prince’ scams Ridge man
PEOPLE ACTUALLY FALL FOR THIS CRAP! :oops:
Nigerian ‘prince’ scams Bay Ridge man
A Nigerian “prince” in desperate need of an American friend to help him transfer money out of his turbulent country found one in Bay Ridge.
The 27-year-old man, who was promised a slice of the action in return for his kindness, told cops he received the urgent e-mail sometime in June. In the email, the “prince” told the victim that before he could transfer the millions of dollars into the United States, he would first need a little cash.
Cops say that the victim, who lives on 95th Street near Third Avenue, obliged the wealthy Nigerian heir with a wire transfer of $2,850 on June 13, before discovering he was part of a royal scam.

Man I love that site! Every time I get on it, I seem to spend like 2 hours reading through some of the scams!
Re: Nigerian ‘prince’ scams Ridge man
WOW, tanx, great site. I used to love responding to these scams using the name of the SAC of my local FBI office in Minneapolis and the office address and phone number. I always wondered what happened if the scammer tried to contact the name I gave at the address I gave Too bad most FBI offices no longer have their information as readily available. Damn terrorists ruined my fun harrasing he crooks.
