[Ads-l] The Nigerian Scam revisited

[Robin Hamilton]

It's because you're *English*, Michael.  I'm Scottish, so the Frog knows that I
wouldn't buy a used golf-course from him.

On the other hand, if you have money to spare, I have a nice gold-plated bridge
that I bought cheap at my local car boot sale that I could let you have at a
bargain.
