WE ARE TIRED OF PEOPLE BELIEVING EVERY SCAM ORIGINATE FROM NIGERIA

Calm down.

They are called Nigerian scams because the first wave of them on the internet came from Nigeria, but they can come from anywhere in the world.

The advanced payment scam actually goes back to the late 18th or early 19th century in Europe. Rightly or wrongly Nigeria is stuck with the reputation now because of the internet publicity.

Once you lose your pride the rest is easy.

I would agree with you but then we both would be wrong.
