Wait a sec, you didn't wait for the money orders to clear before sending the money?? Money orders are not cash, they are like checks or in your case counterfeit money.

Are you sure your wife's not the model ?

Email from Nigeria=bullsh*t

"Hey everyone, I need money for a brain transplant, please send lots of money across the ocean to someone you have never met."

I love the ones that promise you a percentage of a fortune tied up in probate if you help pay to get the fortune released. I get a couple of those every six months. I respond "F U "

God made some of us generous and gullible. These nigerians operate on the principle that theres a sucker born every minute, and unfortunately its true. 60 Minutes did a piece on how many retired geezers had shipped tens of thousands to nigeria on the "my rich unlce died" scam.

Sorry to hear you are out the cash, but never agree to anything over the phone or internet.

I don't mean to rub salt in the wound, but is she blond?

Sorry to hear about that.

When I did internet car sales, someone from Nigeria wanted to transfer 1.5 million dollars to one of my bank accounts to get it out of the country. They said I could keep half. They had a whole sob story to about how her husband was just killed and her son is to young blah blah blah.
That would be FUNNY if it turned out to be true...you are out .75 Million!
