Fucking bonkers. It was amusing watching this play out locally, though. Thanks for digging in and getting the story!

“‘We sit back and laugh at you idiots and watch you make fools of yourselves,’ read the email, written in clunky Spanish. ‘Come find us in Nigeria.’” um… Did the scammer think people in Nigeria speak Spanish?

Inspired: Carmen Sandiego swoops in and steals Graceland while the Presley estate is busy with the granny.

Well, as a Nigerian, I understand why they would try to point the finger our way. We’ve kind of earned it. That being said, taunting them to “come find us in Nigeria” is a little too easy.

I didn't know Graceland was something a rando could steal. How about that.
