We do need to spare some thought for genuine Nigerian business men trying to conduct business.

Sounds reasonable I'll post you one of my £15 notes and you send me the change?

I just had 'Stephen' on the phone from Microsoft, apparently my laptop is teeming with viruses and shite. I told him I hadn't got a computer and the cheeky git said "well I don't know why I'm talking to you then you f*cking b*stard". I managed to get in a "twat" before the phone went down but really I ask you...

I had an Indian guy ring me reading a script in bad English telling me I had a virus on Windows (I'm an Apple user, the only Windows I have are in the walls of my house)
I went along with everything he was saying, he was telling me to input this and do that.
"Yep done that, what now"
"What does it say on screen now" he says, after being on the phone for 15 mins
"It says your are a c***, now **** off!!"
He then starts shouting at me, I'm laughing and then hang up. Great fun

He's OK he never uses the phone or email.

You jest but believe me, for any genuine African, doing business with the developed world is extremely frustrating for this very reason. When I contact other suppliers as a favour for my Nigeran customers, they lose interest as soon as they find out the enquiry is for a Nigerian. The avarice of the scammers is damaging the continent in very many ways.

I was joking but I can imagine it is very damaging.

Rung again while I was in the shower. Hope they don't give up, I am beginning to get interested in their scheme.... or may be they don't want to con me...... I will be so disappointed!

Well that appears to be that. Pretty useless bunch of conmen, only 4 attempts. I think I might ring them.....and give them all my ex wife's details!!
