Nope.. This is not really new.

This lad is hoping to find a victim of a scam and 'help' them retrieve their money. Along the way all kinds of fees have to be paid and the victim never sees any money...

I really prefer the Nigerian FBI office ones. They are so temperamental.

And USE that to your advantage... Tell them that you can't do whatever they ask simply BECAUSE you're in holland. Tell them that that "you white guys" won't understand the presssures you're going though. Then add a truckload more, many of which will be simply made up. FUCK I'd HATE to be a white guy in the 21st Century 'cos of the Skeletor factor, the Victoria Beckham effect, the recent earthquakes here in the Northern suburbns of Melbourne (Which ACTUALLY only happened in the SOUTHERN SUBURBS) Thumbs down

Just a thought,
