Space station scam spam

I thought this would be best posted in the humor section.

Long ago I once got a spam email stating that the Nigerian Police were after me for I forget what reason.
Yep, that really scared the heck outta me, couldn't keep my beer down for a week.

Apex, you're welcome to the money. I have a Nigerian attorney handling a VERY large inheritance for me.

I've sent him the money that he needs to start the process. Occasionally he emails me a bill for incidental expenses, and updates me on the progress that he's made.

Unfortunately, Nigeria has just passed a new law to prevent money laundering. He can't send me a check for the first payment unless I have a matching amount in a bank account. I'll need to send him the bank account number after I put the money in. He says that it's really more complicated than that, and that's the reason it's taking so long.
