I used to work with a guy who honest to god fell for the Nigerian Prince scam. It was back in probably 2004. it was especially sad cause he came up to me and was like "I haven't told anyone yet, but I'm about to quit this place, I know it's crazy but it turns out I'm a Nigerian prince". I just started laughing and then quickly realized he was dead serious. When I told him it was a scam he didn't even believe me at first and even claimed to be aware of the scam but "this is different/real". By the end of the conversation and a bunch of convincing on my part, I got to see him realize that he wasn't Nigerian royalty in real time. It should have been funny, but it was just kind of depressing seeing this true believer realize he wasn't actually rich or about to quit his job. Like, yeah he was dumber than a door knob but drat. iirc I think I caught him before he had actually sent the money out or after he had only sent a few hundred dollars. I don't even remember how that scam worked tbh. It was a pretty basic wire fraud thing right?

I have read this like 10 times and I still can't figure out what the implication of it is supposed to be. I'm guessing you thought he should have offered you a ride? But I still can't figure out what that has to do with temp agencies as a business/scam. veni veni veni fucked around with this message at 16:09 on Nov 30, 2019 |
