I talked to a relative from nigeria one time for a couple months. He was actually in nigeria, spoke pretty good english, and was scamming to get by and fund his way through college. He said his group was doing ok, and he was living better than most. He sent me pictures of himself, and where he worked, his motorcycle, all sorts of things. Not as a pitch either, like, he was proud of those things and I was interested so he was happy to show and tell about his life, we even exchanged some recipies.

Then one day he just stopped replying, and his email address would bounce. My best guess is it got shut down, for, you know, scamming. Bummed me out though, he was cool, except for the scamming thing.
