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

Don't trust them, it's a scam from Africa. :D
 
Thx, guys
Well I wanted to check first, 'cus it was to good to be true.
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. :confused: 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? :crazy:
 
i read that in africa you can get a 1meg dsl line with 3 gig monthly traffic limit for $120 month
 
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. :cool:
