There must be a recession in Nigeria. That's 3 of these scammers trying to separate me from my money in less than 24 hours.

'Sarah', a BP Elite member, just sent me this spiel. To become an Elite member, you have to pay $31/month. That's a lot of money in Nigeria. I really feel bad that <Sarah's> going to get kicked off the site and lose 'her' $31 or however much 'she' paid. Because as soon as I post this, I'm reporting her. Or him, whatever.

My mother died when I was some month old she was an American whom I never grew up to know as she died when I was some month old.and my late father did not re-marry because he loved my mother so much that her death was a big tragedy to him and not willing to have me raised by another woman, he raised me on his own till death took him away from me.

Before my father died, he disclosed to me at his sick bed that he deposited the sum of US$2,350.000.00 (Two million three hundred and fifty thousand US dollars) with a financila bank in Cotonou Benin republic for safe keeping to be invested in foreign country before he was met with his untimely death.

Yep, hard to miss that African English and typical "poor orphan" storyline.

Unfortunately, the scammer won't be out much. "She" most likely paid with a stolen credit card (scammers buy stolen/phished CC numbers and use them for online shopping, signing up to sites, etc.)
