Ah the nigerians are applying a little imagination if not common sense. I applaud their innovation into ever more fanciful scenarios.

I wish there was away we could connect Dr. Tunde with Matt Damon. Those two could surely solve this.

And a very big home indeed. Probably a castle in his country. He may need it when his fellow countrymen come after him and his money.

You should call and tell them this:
Quote: Hi, this is Steven Spielberg. I am inspired by this and would like to make a movie so the whole World knows about this forgotten hero. I am ready to pay 50M USD for the story. However, you need to first send me 1M USD as security. This is to ensure you will not sell the rights to anyone else.

Can you please provide your bank details so I can support you? Of course my support would cost you in advance, but I'll repay 110%.

Sure, no problem. But it's sensitive information, so if you don't mind, I'll have my special courier[^] deliver it to you. Now, what was your address again????

No it isn't; it's the same concept as the Spanish Prisoner[^] con from the 16th century.
Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Someone should update that Wikipedia page with this one though. Lost Nigerian astronaut is definitely a new twist to an old con.

Well, I didn't know that (about the Spanish Prisoner con). Thanks for the link!

Spanish Prisoner? You might be on to a new one!
Subject: Nigerian Time Traveler needs Assistance for Rescue
REQUEST FOR ASSISTANCE-STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL
I am Dr. Bakare Tunde, the researcher whose brother I sent back to the 16th century where he is being held prisoner. How do I know. He sent me a letter from back in that day to my house via Western Union, same as in Back To The Future III. So far, I know he is doing well but he may be killed for claiming that the world is round and many other unheard of ideas. Also, his Spanish is coming along quite well. I need the money to further my research and to send a rescue team.
YadaYada....
You get the idea.
