- Date: Thu, 2 Sep 2004 10:20:56 -0400
I was wearing my 419 scam t-shirt at the University Mall in CH last night and was vigorously stopped by a woman who said a man from Nigeria was trying to buy her car, which she had placed for sale online. The man had just sent her a cashier's check for $9K more than the car was worth, and wanted her to send a check for the $9K difference.
I explained about Nigerian spammers and she was embarrassed that this type of scam was so common they had t-shirts for it :-)
