I've had these before as well...the lad Pekhart is a talented young Czech breaking into the Spurs' first team. Pekhart is a surname, and it is not Malaysian.
These things must work though, or why else would they be continually sent out? |

I know it's a scam. Anything Nigerian sets off all sorts of warning lights in my head.
I just don't see what they have to gain. |

I always love African "women" who try to add me on Yahoo messenger. Gosh, how did they ever get my name? Was it my renowned love for Africa? I always try to convince them I own a child pornography publishing company. I publish limited edition "art" books of young boys that I sell to interested buyers in Germany. |

There is a fantastic scam here for them to perpetrate. They could recruit people online for jobs in Korea and then, at the last minute, say that they need $200 for the airport tax or some such. Big money in Lagos, I'd imagine. Not that I want them to succeed, but why do they always mention Nigeria? That's a red flag like no other! I pity the actual ex-general who's trying to smuggle his embezzled fortune out of the country--he's never going to find anyone to go along with it! |

A CV has a lot of personal info that could also be used for identity theft. |

I'd imagine they mention Nigeria since that's where the money has to be sent. |

There was one just like it recently from Kazakhstan. I was tempted to answer, hoping it was from Borat. |

They must trade names of people who send hate mail back.
I once got a Nigerian scam letter and replied with "Go to hell."
That was a long time ago and I haven't gotten a single one since. |
