Most traditional African advance fee fraud messages try to approximate standard English, but this example is notably illiterate. “Mrs. Waziri” tries to spin an elaborate tale of multiple accounts in a variety of banks in London and Nigeria, with transfers going here and there, but even for a dedicated scamologist this one falls into the category of “too long, didn’t read.” But of course Mrs. Waziri only has to get one sucker to take the bait and she’ll be able to clean up; if most of the thousands of people who get her messages ignore her it doesn’t much matter.
