Pretty sure that's the same # that was in the scammy Kijiji ad for TAF the other day.

I guess the scam must work once in a blue moon or they would not keep trying. So sad.

I'm guessing it works more frequently than a blue moon if this news story is true...

Holy F!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's physical cash, on the ground, in Nigeria. Scam cash would be electronic. The 43M would be organized crime / drugs / weapons / corruption type stuff.

I would not want to be the cop fighting that in such a poor and corrupt country. Life expectancy must be very limited.
