This news video from MSNBC reports about the infamous 419 nigerian scam. If you are new to this, this is a scam which usually involves someone rich had died and left behind huge sum of money. The scammer will then request for assistance to transfer out the money... just for a small sum of 'processing fees', 'legal fees' or whatever they can call it to convince a potential victim. MSNBC called up the scammer pretending to inquire about the offer in the email.

This guy wrote as if he knows you for ages and has 'suffered' together with you. He is asking to send you a bank draft of US$1million to your account if you contact his secretary called Johnson Iveatu.

Paul showed how easy it is to scam a group of people in public, into believing that they can buy a chemical to remove the black ink on some 'real money'. In order to convince the crowd, he demonstrated the use of the chemical on a real (really real) money. The actual sale after the demonstration uses white paper painted with black ink.

It is common sense that if the black money is worth more than the chemicals used, the 'sellers' could have used it for themselves.

Mr Patrick Williams is asking for your help to transfer US$15 million into your bank account. Perfectly fishy offer.

All you have to do is to dress up, put on some make-up, change your hair, get a nice suntan, and TADA! You are the HEIR of this darn awesome sum of cold hard cash in no time!

To make it even real, you may like to change your DNA , get some breast implants (if you intend to change gender in case the rich man only has a daughter), plastic surgery, and not forgetting to change your finger prints to those of the dead rich man's family.

Last but not least, try to pick up some accent, walk and talk like a rich man's long lost son or daughter, and prepare some onions to cry over at the bank when they talk about your 'rich dad' at the bank counter.

Hmm, better checkout if that rich man has AIDS before he died, that is kinda hard or troublesome to fake since the HEIR might be expected to inherit that as well.

For all these little trouble, Patrick is willing to pay you 25% of the cash money. Not bad.
