My idiot stepdad fell for the scam back in 2002. Just before I turned 16. He sank 5000 bucks into that fraud BS. He was supposed to buy me a car with that money, instead I got nothing for my b-day =[
Thanks for this submission, I am going to forward it to him so he can get his money back! =]

Yo, Ackbar, I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but Inception was the best meta trap of all time!
tiakJul 31, 2010
It is a trap referencing traps as a source of its trappiness. Quite meta indeed.
hivoltage815Aug 1, 2010
Traps within traps are more costly than the traps in the level above them. Blowing $10,000 on a Nigerian scam in the first level is really somewhere around $27 million in the second.
eurynom0sJul 31, 2010
Well I thought it was more like a double trap, or a trap inside of a trap.

This is the reason I don't let my family members over 50 read their email without the supervision of someone in their 20s to 30s. In fact I will not even let my own mother know the passwords to some of her own accounts since she once thought she won $100,000 for being the 1 millionth visitor.

Subject: Nigerian Astronaut Wants To Come Home
Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
National Space Research and Development Agency (NASRDA)
Plot 555
Misau Street
PMB 437
Garki, Abuja, FCT NIGERIA
Dear Mr. Sir,
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the cousin of Nigerian Astronaut, Air Force Major Abacha Tunde. He was the first African in space when he made a secret flight to the Salyut 6 space station in 1979. He was on a later Soviet spaceflight, Soyuz T-16Z to the secret Soviet military space station Salyut 8T in 1989. He was stranded there in 1990 when the Soviet Union was dissolved. His other Soviet crew members returned to earth on the Soyuz T-16Z, but his place was taken up by return cargo. There have been occasional Progrez supply flights to keep him going since that time. He is in good humor, but wants to come home.
In the 14-years since he has been on the station, he has accumulated flight pay and interest amounting to almost $ 15,000,000 American Dollars. This is held in a trust at the Lagos National Savings and Trust Association. If we can obtain access to this money, we can place a down payment with the Russian Space Authorities for a Soyuz return flight to bring him back to Earth. I am told this will cost $ 3,000,000 American Dollars. In order to access the his trust fund we need your assistance.
Consequently, my colleagues and I are willing to transfer the total amount to your account or subsequent disbursement, since we as civil servants are prohibited by the Code of Conduct Bureau (Civil Service Laws) from opening and/ or operating foreign accounts in our names.
Needless to say, the trust reposed on you at this juncture is enormous. In return, we have agreed to offer you 20 percent of the transferred sum, while 10 percent shall be set aside for incidental expenses (internal and external) between the parties in the course of the transaction. You will be mandated to remit the balance 70 percent to other accounts in due course.
Kindly expedite action as we are behind schedule to enable us include downpayment in this financial quarter.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this message via my direct number 234 (0) 9-234-2220 only.
Yours Sincerely, Dr. Bakare Tunde
Astronautics Project Manager
