    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.

How can they afford the internet service unless a lot more people than suspected are falling for this?

    We have to delete that garbage from our forums all the time.

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