Zepp Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Yeah its a scam don't fall for it. I fell for a scam trying to help a supposed king of Nigeria access some funds of his that had been illegally frozen by his own government. Last month I lost almost £100 on this scam. Fortunately I have just found out I have won the Cameroonian lottery. How lucky is that! I can't even remember entering it! Once I have paid the £80 administration fee I will receive about £250,000. So its swings and roundabouts really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
