419 Cheater Cheated
In 2005, with a cruel but unbelievable tactic, someone actually managed to dupe a Nigerian 419 scammer to tattoo himself an emblem of a “church”, which was the condition for him to get some “relief fund”.
To cut the long story short, the scammer emailed one “Father Bruce Corbin” and mentioned that he himself is a preacher and was representing a charity body to collect money for the Pakistan earthquake.
Fr Corbin was positive in his response but said, only members of his church can receive the money and to be a member of his church, the follower must tattoo upon himself the church emblem. This is the emblem.

Funny right? Shiver is the nickname of this 419 hunter so to speak (aka Fr Corbin).
Well - the scammer agreed to it (talk about being GREEDY!). Here’s a picture of him (to prove that it’s not fake) he sent back to Fr Corbin of his “initiation” process ![]()

Hahaha if you would like to read the whole exchange of emails and a few more pictures, click here to read.

There have been many hilarious examples by 419 eaters, including if I remember correctly, asking them to produce that amazing wooden keyboard. A few years back I liked to reply and “play” with them for a while, addressing myself as John Akupenipubesar or Robert Kepalahotakkau something like that.

Why is so many of Nigerian individuals become cheater? They don’t have so many job in Nigeria,is it? So, next time we receive email from Nigeria, immediately delete it (except if you know the person well)…
