Oh boy, as if those Nigerian e-mail scams weren’t bad enough, now we’ve got the strangest quasi-justification ever.
Professor Olu Agbi said “greedy” Australians who tried to partake in these crimes – even though they are scams – should be arrested as well.
“People who send their money are as guilty as those who are asking them to send the money,” he said.
Know what? He’s actually got a point. Folks are trying to get in on a hustle.
But uhhh, when the scams are known as the Nigerian scams…it’s probably best to work on the Nigerians first. Yanno, considering that when corruption indices come out every year, Nigeria lives at the top of the lists like Florida State did in the AP poll during the ’90s.
This idiot doesn’t have a point.
Unless these scams are advertised as breaking Nigerian law how are the scammed expected to know the ins and outs of foreign laws?
The only thing these fools are guilty of is being stupid.
Do these people really believe some Nigerian Prince is going to use some random asshole to move his fortune? Get the fuck out of here.
Plus, if all stupid people were to be arrested then there wouldn’t be enough people left to function as a society.
Plus are foreign nationals bound by “Nigerian Law” anyway?
This sounds like what my grandmother used to call an educated fool.
