New twist on the Nigerian scam

Had a clown pop up on Yahoo IM two days ago...

Chatted up a storm..pretended to be an American in london. Talked about how he wanted to come back asap.

Just poped out a "I am so afraid to be a terrorist victim" and how he just doesn't have the money to come back since they spent their money on mums medical bills....said an aunt tried to send him a check but couldn't cash it there and asked me to do it.....Bwaaaahahaha.

Told them , do a bank transfer to him from her....then comes up with a "she can't leave the house"....told them someone can do it on her behalf...

Adn then said have her buy you a ticket here for you to pick up there...as I have done that....(toying around with them)

got a THANKS A LOT and they left.....

Boy that was a weak attempt at a scam...and so obvious.

Hell I would question my own brother if he tried that. And definately anyone I did not know.
