Nigerian scammer from Lagos, no doubt whatsoever.


Waste as much of his time as you can afford....maybe even sucker him
into actually sending you some real money.

It's not a good idea to try to outsmart them. They're used to it, and
they're very good.

I know this guy. He is brilliant. He thought he could beat them:

What a marroon.


IQ through the roof. PhD. Princeton. Built the world's second ion
microscope. Holds patents in fiber optics, resource recovery, plant
medicine, etc. Nephew of a Nobel Prize winner.

Jackass, maybe, but not dumb.


He may have used up all his brain cells on those ion microscopes.

Not likely. Thinking you can out-scam those guys, that someone else is
really dumb and you know how and why it couldn't happen to you, is exactly
the kind of hubris the Nigerian scammers rely on.

The more immune you think you are, the easier you are as a target.
