Hello friend! Greetings from Nigeria! I’m a terribly wealthy prince who has fallen on hard times. My vast riches are tied up in an account in the Cayman Islands. All I need to liberate them is £10k. Could I borrow this from you? I would pay you back ten times the amount…
And so starts a very predictable scam. Just about everyone has now received a communication like this. And just about everyone has immediately binned it…except the odd eye surgeon.
It has to be said that this is sad rather than funny, which makes this a very poor start to a supposedly hilarious new blog (mental note to self: must write funnier stuff).
