You can spot its a scam before you've read the first 6 words. 
Keep vigilant everyone!

Poor guys, don't you feel sorry for them. They probably paid a weeks or months wages of hard labour building roads to some fraudster that sold them a 'guarenteed get rich scheme' and then they try it out, only to get completely mucked around by a bunch of over intelligent american pranksters making them take photos and videos in stupid situations. From the look of the forum of scambaitersthese fraudsters are clearly no match for even the simplest of intelligent baiting. Funny it is, though. The real criminals are the ones selling the schemes to these gullible desparate people.

I think the phrase "cuddly to the top banking official" needs to be preserved for posterity.  After all the bad news about bankers it's good to know they have a soft spot for the fraudsters.

Reminds me of an instruction leaflet we had for mixing some powder with water which then "bubbly makes to the several directions"

Or a road sign in Nigeria warning of a "horizontal vertical curve"!

Obviously they are all engineers.  In the UK we would have to have a long winded sign like 'Bends on blind brows' which I am sure would be funny to Nigerian's. Ha how can a brow be blind - stupid.

My absolute favourite is on a urinal behind the Royal Bombay Yacht Club in Mumbai it advertises a "Urine free toilet".
