 There really is a Scott Peters in the banking business. But did you notice that the name in the email is deliberately misspelled? Boy, it's a good thing I didn't, because I was mighty excited:


Are you God? Because I've been praying to God for this kind of money AND I'VE RECEIVED IT! THANK YOU!! I WILL DO ANYTHING YOU SAY TO GET THE MONEY!!!

But I am confused, so confused by your email! What does it mean, how did I win it? Just tell me how, in words I can understand, AND I WILL GIVE YOU ALL THE INFORMATION YOU WANT! MY BANK NUMBER, PASSPORT, EVEN THE KEYS TO MY HOUSE!!! BECAUSE I'LL BE ABLE TO BUY A NEW HOUSE! Just explain how I won this money.

Love,
Chester Hooten

PS: EVERYTHING OF MINE IS YOURS!!!!

Too much to ask for? Apparently so. They never replied.

 I didn't bother asking how a guy in Africa has an address -- rediffmail.com -- located in India. There was too much money at stake!






I was actually pretty excited to be talking to a real live ambassador. Unfortunately, it was for naught:

U.S AMBASSADOR TO NIGERIA
AMBASSADOR JAMES F. ENTWISTLE
PHONE: Tel; +2348122422012


 I really wanted to call this guy in the middle of the night his time -- 234 really is the Nigerian telephone exchange -- but I'm not sure my plan covers international calls to criminals. I had to send an email instead:

OK, now I'm confused. I thought I was talking to James F. Entwistle. Now I find out I'm talking to Emmanuel Okafor. (Hey here's a joke. What's an Okafor? To climb! Get it? Oak tree, see?)

I'm sorry you got my answering machine when I called. Did you hang up without leaving a message? Too bad, I would have loved hearing from you. I like talking to foreigners. I learn so much from them, like how foreign they are.

So, OK, you're Emmanuel Okafor. I've got the $105, but I have to trust you first. I have to know that you are who you say you are, which is Emmanuel Okafor. If you could send me a scan of your passport or driver's license (I guess you drive hippos instead of cars in Nigeria), that would be good.

One more thing, and this is very, very important: I cannot meet with you if you have Ebola. That is definitely a deal-breaker, no matter how much money you want to give me. Because $3.5 million isn't going to do me any good if I'm bleeding from my eyes.

Chester Hooten

Looks like our friend Mr. Okafor has Ebola, for he never answered. Glad I found out in time.
