Someone Inside The Heart Of Surulere Trying To Con A Typical Lagos Boy

Na wao. Since it's becoming increasingly difficult daily to achieve international scams from Nigeria, these bad boys now target their own brothers.I received a mail yesterday purportedly sent by a girl i met in London about two years ago through a friend. The strange thing was that we hadn't communicated in any way at all in all this time. Below is the sequence of mails between "her" and me:HELLO HOW ARE YOU DOING? I WANT YOU TO KEEP THISCONFIDENTIAL BETWEEN BOTH OF US, I KNOW THAT I CAN PUTMY TRUST IN YOU ON THIS. PLEASE DO NOT LET ME DOWN.RIGHT NOW I AM IN AFRICA, NIGERIA. I CAME HERE ON ATRIP TO SEE A FRIEND AND WHEN I GOT HERE I LOST MYWALLET CONTAINING THE ADRESS OF MY FRIEND AND HISCONTACT PHONE NUMBER, ALONG WITH MY ATM CARD AND OTHERVALUABLES.SO RIGHT NOW I DO NOT EVEN HAVE ANY MONEY ON ME . I AMSTAYING IN A HOTEL NOW , AND THE MANAGER IS ALREADYRANTING OVER HIS MONEY AND AS TIME GOES BY THE BILLSARE INCREASING. I WOULD WANT YOU TO LOAN ME $2000. I PROMISE TO PAYYOU BACK AS SOON AS I GET BACK , IWOULD WANT YOU TO HELP SEND THE MONEY VIA WESTERNUNION . GET BACK AT ME ASAP.HOPE TO READ FROM YOU, I laughed when i did the conversion. Then i called London and confirmed the girl was there, then i replied:Hi, long time. How did all this happen?Anyway, you're my friend and i'm sure you'll do samefor me. I'm willing to give you $3,000 i guess youmight just need extra money. Unfortunately i'm in SA now for a course so you'llhave to wait a few extra days to allow the money getto you from here. I'll need your details, i wonder whyyou didn't include any not even a number.So,ill expect your mail. Take care.N.B You remember that friend of yours, what's her nameagain? i think i saw her recently.Notice i chipped in a question and also made "her" comfortable by offering an extra $1,000. I was beant on leading "her" on for as long as possible before setting a lunch meeting with the EFCC. ( Got to go out now. To be continued)
