I still don't understand why someone would pay anything to anyone who sent you an email saying they have money for you but can't get it to you without paying a fee. Particularly for compensation for being scammed!

BBC News: Nigerian President Umaru Yar'Adua has died after an illness.

I was devastated to hear this. He was supposed to be paying me thirty-four million pounds tomorrow.

Right, I'm surprised they are still doing it

I'm a prince or something. I'm entitled to 30 million usd. All I need is someone like you to, um, give me money so I can send you money. Please believe me.
