Nigerian spam mail leads to assassination Inflate your Upload Space

This is both sad and funny at the same time.

Diplomat shot dead in Prague

Czech police have launched a major investigation after a senior diplomat was shot dead at the Nigerian embassy in the capital, Prague.
The dead man has been named as 50-year-old Michael Lekara Wayid, Nigeria's consul in the Czech Republic.

Polcie say they have arrested a 72-year-old Czech man.

According to unconfirmed reports, the man is suspected of opening fire because he was the victim of a financial swindle by a Nigerian group.

He is said to have been persuaded to give his bank details to someone posing as a senior Nigerian official.

In recent years, Nigerian-based organisations have been suspected of operating fraudulent schemes in several countries, promising large returns on financial transactions.


This may just lead to more spam, though:

I'm not surprised. In fact, I am surprised this didn't happen earlier. I am certain there are lots of scammed people around who are really pissed off.
