He's got my curiousity picked and I've got to try the challenge, LOL!

I know for sure he is from where he says because I subscribe to Google Analytics for my website statistics--it tells me where everybody is and more. I've had hits from Nigeria and all over the world before. Its really interesting to see! I think its just so cool to have talked to him--in Nigeria--in my chat room online today and I'm going to try to help him locate some resources. It may be harder since its a totally different country than I am in, but it could be fun if I find some good information for him. And, its not like I have a ton of activities logged in my calendar either.


Chris Hanson--a reporter for the news magazine "Dateline" on NBC's network--did an expose on scammers from Nigeria a while back. All the scammers always wanted money. . .I am hopeful you are being cautions so as not to be swindled yourself. . .
Thanks for this!
