How a Nigerian Scammer Got Scammed Big Time

Nigerian Scammer Caught With Pants Down...Off - photo from Patrick Mackeown

This is one hilarious story.

Patrick Mackeown, the author of the highly recommended thriller novel The Expendability Doctrine, pulled a really fast one on a Nigerian Scammer.

Read the article below and you’ll see how he turned the tables on the obviously desperate to make a few bucks Nigerian.

Nigerian scammers, are notorious to many, but sadly we get a few people who are still unknowing victims – a desperate enough person getting an e-mail about some kind of story for helping with getting funds or needing funds to help a dying loved one and you actually send that money – it’s called Nigerian simply because many of these e-mails or letters come right out of Nigeria. This country is itself strife torn and quite lawless when it comes to such scams. Unless of course some dictators pride was at risk…

By kind open permission to reprint…here’s part of the story.

[[Obi, I wrote, the woman I've met was most pleased with your photograph. But, unfortunately, like many women, she's greatly turned on by the notion of power and influence. I think she would be stimulated by the sight of you, pretending to be me, of course, with no clothes on, standing in front of an enlarged photograph of General Fuga.

NO PROBLE, Obi replied. And rapidly he dispatched the requested scene.

That's fantastic, I enthused. But there does appear to be something of a distance between you and the great man in the background. Would it be at all possible for you to find an image of him with an extended hand? And then stretch out your manhood, and pose so that your pride-and-joy appears to be being supported by the general himself?

And that's how I came to have an image of a naked Nigerian's erection being held out by a man in a military uniform. Now, I bet there aren't many people who can boast of ownership of one of those! It doesn't take long to look up the postal address of the Nigerian Presidential Palace. By the time I'd received Obi's letter I'd already addressed my own missive to General Fuga. Being a newspaper reporter, I lied, I'm about to publish a photograph of you holding Obi Swame's willy. 

The phonecall which I promptly received from the Nigerian High Commissioner was extraordinarily polite.

"We're very sorry to trouble you," Doctor Ugama assured me. "But, do you think it would be at all possible for us to enquire as to how you came by this most curious of depictions of our president?"

"Why certainly you may!" I replied. "Obi Swame sent it to me in a letter, whilst he was attempting to swindle me out of enormous sums of money!"

And that's the least thing that I heard from Obi Swame. I understand that in Lagos City there is a newspaper called The Telegraph. Someone did send me a clipping from it which reported the fact that one Obi Swame had been arrested on account of the fact that he'd been making disrespectful images of important people. But the article failed to mention the names of the dignitaries that Obi had upset.]]

This is most certainly quite uplifting.
