The manager
transferred the money accordingly but later came to know that the
Chairman had not sent any such email. Rakesh Kumar, director finance of
the Hotel, then registered a case in Surajpur police station about the

ReplyDeleteLast week my Indian colleague in the US hinting about this incidence said to me "Do you know some Nigerians in India perpetrated e-mail fraud recently?" I couldn't let him make me feel dejected because of something I knew nothing about, so I replied, "Do you know some Indians in India gang-raped little girls and sell the sick video to some Indians to pleasure with ?". The look on his face was priceless! He's been avoiding me ever since.
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, some Nigerians got no shame.
