I got emails from two guys claiming to be Bill & Exchange Manager of Bank of Africa Burkina faso

[Orrex]

Whom should I believe? Mr Sani Mandiouf? Or Mr Usman Abu?

I want to be sure to give my bank information to the right guy so that I don't get hosed.

[TZ]

1. Why don't you send me your bank info

and I'll pass it along to the right guy for you...;)

[Orrex]

5. You'd do that for me? Thanks, you're swell!

:hi:

[XemaSab]

2. Ask them if Burkina Faso is a big city or a small town, and if they know each other

:hide:

[Orrex]

8. Maybe I can start some sort of east side/west side rivalry

And the winner of the resulting blood-war gets to handle my account.

[Swede]

3. Tell them all your money is being handled by a Nigerian prince.

:shrug:

[Orrex]

7. That reminds me

I need to give that guy a call. It's been weeks, and still no millions in my account.

[arcadian]

4. Bank of Africa Burkina faso is more solvent than most US banks right now.

I'd go with it. :thumbsup:

[Orrex]

6. What's the medium of exchange, though?

I can't keep track of these things...

[elshiva]

9. Same as Nigerian currency I guess. It's the same scam.

[Orrex]

10. Scam? We'll see who's laughing when I'm rolling in Burkina Faso currency

Whatever it turns out to be.

[elshiva]

11. Best of luck with that, Orrex.

May you be as rich as a Nigerian Prince.

[Orrex]

14. Don't worry--my new-found wealth won't change me

I'll still be the dazzlingly charismatic fellow that the Lounge has come to know and worship. I'll just be fabulously rich, on top of all else.

[elshiva]

15. We worship you.

:hug: :loveya: You are funny and sweet.

[arcadian]

12. They use the West African Franc

I believe.

[Orrex]

13. Well then, francly my dear, I DO give a damn. Sign me up!

How can I lose?!?

[applegrove]

16. Email them back and tell them out disgusting they are. You get the chance to

tell off these criminals unlike most of the ones who steal your identity, your life, or whatnot.

[Orrex]

17. But if I do that, they might be tempted to misuse all of the banking info that I just sent them

I don't want to make that mistake!

[timtom]

18. Burkina Faso, now??

LOL!

When someone asks the question, "Do you have any questions?" I often reply, "Yes. What is the capital of Burkana Faso?"

They stare at me blankly for a sec or two and then I press on, "It's Ouagadougu."

Many a loan officer has regretted signing me up for a loan.
