I've seen bits of this before, but not the whole lot together...

Aussie guy lost big bucks, in comes 60 minutes, flies him to lagos, EFCC bust cybercafe - full of nice flat panel monitors & win XP pc's. Bit of mugu slapping - then a "sting" in the hotel room meeting scammers and them dobbing in their ogas.

In the end, Aussie guy just still didn't get it, and still thinks he's entitled to his share of the 35 million...... Rolling Eyes

That's a recurring theme here isn't it.

Here's a monster compressed file (11.5mb) Download

I have a higher quality 38mb file, but really cant be bothered uploading it unless anyone REALLY wants higher res... Just ask if you do want higher.

Unfortunately, the Aussies got this before us Rolling Eyes

I can't find the thread at the moment (Coz I can't be arsed...) but all this was discussed a few weeks ago.
It was good TV though!

Yeah, I wasnt sure if it was exactly the same or not... N.Z. is so boring, I thought they might have edited in some extra bits to fill in the time Laughing

@four - you're probably right, it was not the time of night for me to take that much attention (putting the kids to bed... fun times here!)
