Speculative emailing...
Thursday, February 24th, 2011 11:50 amWhat with all this trouble in North Africa and the Middle East, whereby the masses have finally woken up to the fact that they can get rid of brutal dictatorships if they really want to, I have decided that the next time I get an email from a Nigerian Bank asking me to help transfer some deposed despot’s billions, I may just have to take it seriously.
I mean, it’s all over the news – there are toppled despots and there are billions of golden splonders that need shifting around, so if a nice Nigerian Barrister asks me, I feel I should at least pay attention.
In the meantime, I could pre-empt them. It’s harder with Egypt and Tunisia, because the former leaders are precisely that – former. But certainly Bahrain and Libya are different propositions for a short time at least. Maybe if I email as many variants as I can come up with of Mumar-G@hotmail.com and the like, I can offer a little financial help to a beleaguered tyrant and make a bob or two for myself in the process.
See, I have the email address of this barrister in Lagos…
