Oh those conmen from Nigeria again.....

Many stories were told of people being conned by certain groups of crooks . I have a student who was conned of RM16,000 !!!!. Sometimes we can be so gullible and these crooks knew the human weakness in us.
Thankfully, I was fully aware of these activities. Recently I put my DSLR camera up for sale in mudah.com.

Almost immediately, I received an e-mail which I suspected to be an attempt to con me. Out of curiousity , I replied to the mail and promptly received a reply.

I showed it to my friend and we had a good laugh !

Oh you son-of-a-bitch !!!!

 This is one guy you're not going to fool and con !

This is the first e-mail.
