An elderly lady receives an e-mail from the son of a deceased (but wealthy) African general, asking whether he could transfer millions of pounds into her bank account in return for a 20% cut. All the son needs is the sort code and account number. Not realising she is the victim of a Nigerian 419 fraud, she e-mails back the details. A couple of minutes later she receives an e-mail back from the general's son: 'Icesave?!' What is this, some sort of scam?"
That boy go raaaaaaa

He said in an interview recently that he actually has to read at least the first few lines of all his 419 spam because so many family friends are, in fact, high-ranking Nigerian government officials or their descendants
