Default Who Falls for the Nigerian Scam _Aussies Do

Have you ever wondered why the Nigerian scammers are so persistent. Apparently they do make a bit of money from it.

Ok to keep this photography related. How many 85/1.2's could that money buy from regular retail chains within australia?

If you get any takers I have a river for sale to go with it. It is a dry river unfortunately but a river none the less. The water in it was sold by the previous owner.

I have some ocean front property here in Arizona that I am willing to trade for a new Canon 40D.
