Snow, how I deal with the Wayo men scammers from Nigeria. I reply as Oleg Ostrowky, a former Mossad, paid by the ECOWAS (Economic Community of the Western States which is trying (that's what I say) to clean the names of Africa and stop the scams. I tell the scammers that we have already hacked the email server, got their details and tell them to run for their lives, and even that his 'sister' (which in West Africa means mistress, girlfriend or even wife) and one of his 'brothers' (which means an African fellow country man) are collaborating. Western Africans are firm believers in rumors, even outlandish ones, and have mistrust to other fellow Africans. But nothing beats my reply in broken English or Pidgin English. It goes like that: <Oga, I beg, make you no try this Wayo with me. I too sabi the ting no be true and you only want money from Londoner. Me, I dey try this kind Wayo tired, I never see a single Kobo.
