Clearly the writer of this email has a talent for making up stories.  He would probably be better off getting a job as a crime writer!  This entire email is a work of fiction, as I’m sure you realise.

Why do scammers who openly tell me their scams are from Nigeria think the world is full of people carrying “consignment boxes” full of money.  I’d seriously like to know the answer to that.  Do people from Nigeria carry large amounts of money in boxes, rather than using banks?  Maybe they do.

Ignore this scammer, who is hoping to take your money by charging you “fees”.
