Scam me the money - Part 3

Razaq Ahmed, who I've been in email dialogue for the last few days, as regular CairnsBlog readers will be aware, is trying to provide me, well 'Kevin Michael Rudd', a truck load of cool hard cash.

I told the Nigerian businessman that our country is in desperate need of a cash injection, following the GFC and some awful floods and fires.

All I need to do is pay a 'courier' fee of around $200.

You can see the original email I received, and my reply.

This morning, Mr Ahmed was obviously keen for me to honour my part of the 'deal':-

This is a fun one, cause we know how it's going to end.

$250 bucks to Nigeria, & $3.8m to you. A bargain Mike. However, we all know it will be tears before bedtime.

Mike - do you want to schedule the sausage sizzle to rustle up the $250 we know you will lose.

Then again, if the $3.8 does come about, does Kevin 07 get it?

How about the CairnsBlog supporters get a massive Lobster Sausage Sizzle ? - there's an idea.

Something to liven up the day. Congrats.
