In the beginning there was Mrs. Helen
It was an exciting weekend. I got an email from Mrs Helen of Lagos, Nigeria."She" is the inspiration behind this web log. This blog is dedicated to "her" and all of the Nigerian scammers out there.

I got an offer on my van today. Oddly enough, a person from Nigeria looked at my webpage with my stuff for sale just before emailing me. Strange coincidence, huh? Time for me to send this to wafl@phonebusters.com the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) tip address for fraud in Canada.
Here's the email:
Hello,

You can call me on +44703184225[modified]*
