The Dirty Kafir was Scammed by Nigerians
What? Isn't it nice to know you are the subject of an Associated Press article but they don't even know your name?
A little background is in order. About two months ago the Dirty Kafir received an email saying he had won the lottery. Hey, people have email addresses as lottery entries and you don't have to sign up for every single one either. It's the glory of the many Internets (thank God Al Gore invented it).
All the email said was to send in the Dirty Kafir's bank account number and a credit card number, so he did without hesitation. After all, who would try to swindle someone online? That is just wrong. The Dirty Kafir never heard back from the lottery company and a month later $5,000 was missing from his bank account. Now the Associated Press runs an article featuring an "Internet scammer" who boasts of taking the Dirty Kafir's money. That is not cool.
It appears this lottery sceme was bogus and originated out of Nigeria by some guy calling himself Kele B. You see, he can't even have a full last name he's so scamming. Despite laws in Nigeria outlawing such scams, he continues and has sent out "tens of thousands" of these emails. Why the Dirty Kafir has received five of those though is beyond him.
From now on, the Dirty Kafir will not bother with lotteries and instead will place bets on whether or not the Cubs will win the World Series before or after 2050. Showing even more gross incompetence though, he has said they would. Some people never learn.

So far, Kele says, he has had only one response. But he claims it paid off handsomely. An American took the bait, he says, and coughed up "fees" and "taxes" of more than $5,000, never to hear from Kele again.Who in their right mind, the Dirty Kafir is not sound of mind, would believe such a ruse? The only good lotteries are in Texas, Powerball and at McDonald's during Monopoly time. It is perfectly legitimate to sink in $1,000 in Big Macs to win a free large french fry or a free ice cream cone. Furthermore, there's nothing wrong with spending every spare dollar on lottery tickets that are always won by someone whose name you've never heard of. The thrill of seeing one of your numbers called is worth the fortune you've spent on the tickets.
