I recently found out that all my postings about the Nigerian emails scams I have received have paid off. These nosebleeds have decided to use my name (or what they think my name is) in their updated 2011 email scams. I have posted the newest email from these dirt balls below but in a nut shell, the esteemed Reverend David Ikenna is telling potential victims that I am in cahoots with them. Now I don’t go to church as much as I should but I’m pretty sure that the Presbyterian minister at my church isn’t named Ikenna. My minister tends to always asks me for money but I can’t think of a time he offered me millions of dollars from the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It tends to be a one way street with my church.
I am a little confused as to why these scammers still are using Nigeria as the country of choice. There really can’t be anyone left who hasn’t heard of these scams. I maybe cold and insensitive but if these days a person is stupid enough to fall for one of these emails, then they kind of deserve to lose their money. As the saying goes “A fool and his money go separate ways”.
I am disappointed that a man of the cloth (LOL) is perpetuating these email scams. I am used to such high dignitaries as Lt General Pete Olu but a “Man of God”, wow they are getting desperate.
In the scam below it says that I walked into their office in Nigeria along with Barrister. I think they meant along with a Barrister because if I’m not mistaken a Barrister is a Government official. They didn’t do their homework very well or otherwise they would have known, I have never been outside the US let alone Nigeria. In fact I don’t even have a passport and if I did, I sure as heck wouldn’t have Nigeria as one of my top tourist destinations.
Anyway, I got a good laugh out of this and I hope all who reads it does as well. I am disappointed though that they have my middle initial as an “A”. It is not! Maybe to them this stands for “A-hole” after all the grief I have given them over the years. I wonder what they would have used if I had told them my last name was Obama?

Be informed that an Irrevocable Payment approval was given and endorsed by the following high governmental bodies having found your payment entitlement satisfactory after due scrutinisation.

To this effect, this committee has approved that your payment will be made on waiver value depending on the category your fund falls. The waiver value is where you have any outstanding payment to be made to the Nigerian Government or any other relevant payment authority. I am constrained to inform you that Mr Dewey A.

FEMI TUNDE a legal practitioner in the Federal Republic of Nigeria in respect of your payment funds that you are his associate and unfortunately you died in a Fatal car accident.

Being stunned with this shocking news of your death, in sympathy and most importantly for religious reasons I refused the US$7,900.00 offered to me, but I accepted the documents and told them to come back in a week’s time to enable me work on the file.
On a second thought I decided to communicate to you in other to confirm the authenticity of this information.
