Those of you that are familiar with math (the scammer isn't) knows that $850 million is a shitload of money, two trunk boxes probably wouldn't be enough but i can't say for certain as i am not a diplomat. And if you get $6000 a day it would take some time you might think to get all your hard earned money from Africa. Well you are right, it would take some 388 years. And this gives us another problem, what use would my money be to me then on account of having been dead for a a few hundred years. Assuming that i can have my children and grand children...and so on inherit my money how would i be guaranteed that the value of the money would stay the same. For all i know the sum of $6000 might not even get you a bubble gum in 250 years time.

Btw, $850 million is roughly 8% of Benins 2010 estimated nominal GDP. He isn't exactly handing out small change here.

Still, it will feed a lot of orphans and fund lots of childrens' toys for many eons to come! Wink

how much money does WU handle? Laughing

Only $5000 a transaction i think. So either i have to pick up two transactions a day which is extra work or I'll have to wait a few more decades.

Hi Dr Mike,

You know your sums. Cool

I noticed that the lad has a different amount in the subject line to what is in the body of his mail. Rolling Eyes

Lazy and careless. Its hard to fathom they are successful at times

Why are people wasting their times with banks when robbing a WU office is much more profitable?

So it seems Entomologist. I didn't notice. If i can only pick up $5000 a day that will push time time it take to well over 400 years.

^^^ 400 years you can't wait that long you could be dead by then.

Insist of a bank transfers, and demand of accounts he will use! jump_4_joy

Set a limit on the size of each transfer and tell him you want delivery to complete by 30 September so he should hurry!

Ask if leap-days are included -- will you get 29 transactions in February or not?
