Don't trust them, it's a scam from Africa.

Thx, guys

I just love Nokia N70. But I ain't be a suckka and lose my money.

Yea you can see those ads all over Net.

Some people fall for it, some don't. But these guys never quit because they make alot of money from the ones who do.

I just googled exchange rates. $180USD = 24,024.2 Nigerian Naira, which another google search tells me is more than most Nigerian families make in a YEAR. I'm sure it's tempting to make a year's salary by ripping off just one person, but did you realize the average cost of 1GB of data downloaded in Africa is around $1800USD (link)!!! How can they afford the internet service unless a lot more people than suspected are falling for this?

Maybe in South Africa, Egypt, Morocco, or another well-developed African nation, but we were talking about Nigeria and it costs a lot there because all they have is satellite and everyone is dirt poor. The statistics I googled said less than 5% of Africa has access to the internet.
