Attap in Alor Setar on the ‘Lonely Hearts’ internet chat room to send him her
entire life’s savings of $250,000 so that they could live happily ever after,
apart. This is the ‘Black Dick Good, White Dick Lagi Bes’ Nigerian scam, under
section 419 of the Penile Code.

millions of blackened US$ notes into usable money with chemicals, for RM50,000. This is the
‘Nigerian Black Is Beautiful’ cash scam.

Department will issue them student visas, no questions asked. Many believe the
Nigerians employ Black Magic to fool our officers. This is called the ‘Nigerian
$5,000 Jujuberry Backhander Voodoo Scam’.

their totally legal $100 million inheritance for a “small” $20,000 fee to cover

After all, laughter is the best medicine!
