PRAISE: church minister defeats Maf1a!

As the only thing one ever hears about Nigeria is that it's full of scammers, I've decided to set the record straight.
I have just extricated from my junk mail a dazzlingly honest communication from The Rev. Austin Ibeh, a computer scientist working at the Central Bank of Nigeria. He writes to say he has just come across my file (which was marked with a big 'X') and my 'released disk' (which is painted red.)
Obviously, I had no idea my file as well as my release disk were in that condition, so thank Gawd for the Rev Austin Healey. Then again, I haven't a clue why any file of mine is in Nigeria anyway. Or what my "release disk" actually is. Never mind. The Reverend Austin A40 goes on to say:
The most annoying thing is that they won't tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you,instead they allow you spend money unnecessarily,I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to you if you can certify me of my security. I needed to do this because you need to know the status of your Funds and cause for the delay,Please this is like a Maf!a setting in Nigeria, you may not understand it because you are not a Nigerian.
How about that then? The poor sod isn't about to spend his days working for peanuts -- and he's not about to let me become a victim of the Maf!a that runs Nigeria. Such honesty. Such courage. The first time anyone from Nigeria has dared to tell it like it is.
Anyway. The Reverend Healey Sprite confirms that $15.5 million is waiting for me if I liaise only with him and avoid a huge list (which I won't repeat here) that he so bravely includes in his missive:
Listed below are the maf1a's and banks behind the non release of your funds that i managed to sneak out for your kind perusal.
The list does make staggering reading, even though The Church of The 1st iPad Virgins isn't included as it should've been. (I was badly ripped off by them: never got my iPad and the virgin was pre-used.)
Never mind. The Rev Ford Anglia only wants my contact details and bank account number to transfer $15.5 million and that's it, job's a good 'un and the Maf1a have been stuffed, yay! But I thought before sending him my details, I really ought to post on here to show that:
(a) not all emails from Nigerians are scams;
(b) some Nigerians are having a lousy time of it and are really, really p1ssed off with their employer;
(c) some Nigerians who are also church ministers are brave enough to stand up to the Nigerian Maf1a and hand out $millions to people in the UK they've never met.
That's surely worth praising on here!

Thanks for the LOL! There are two types of people in the world: Those that can extrapolate information.0

Ahhh, a touching story indeed. Many years ago I met the Rev. Austin Ibeh during my misionary years in Africa - a giant of a man with a big ginger beard, we spoke together long and earnestly about the Nigerian maf!a and how he had big plans to 'sneak aweh de cash' from 'DA MAF!A" for 'de poor peoples of de Yooo Kay". I admit the tears welled in my tiny crablike eyes when confronted with this mans honesty and goodness, that shone like a beacon from his chiselled visage, hallelujah.
I gave him all my savings to assist with his cause and we parted on good terms - why only the other day he text me say I was entitled to £3750 because of "that accident what I had". The mans a f*****g saint I say.0 -

That's absolutely fantastic, bosseyed. :j It's quite obvious that the Rev Humber Snipe found a kindred, noble soul in your good self. I'm so glad you posted here because this Board is stuffed full of vents and moans and completely ignores The Good News About Nigeria.
And wot a coincidence about your text message -- I got one from the Reverend to say I'd caused an accident and though the damages I am liable to pay exceed $157 million, if I remit just £3,750 to him that'll clear my record completely.0 -

Absolute scam. I know for a fact Fort Knox isn't in Nigeria and Nigeria's the only place I can trust now. You're not a church minister anyway. So ya can't fool me, oh no.It sounds like he banks with Santander.

Phyl, what a happy coincidence to find you on here. Only the other day I was speaking to my good friend Rev Austin Maxi, and he asked me to be his liason in the UK. If you could just forward the £3750 to my paypal account, I'll make sure it gets to him toot sweet.

Excellent news, and how nice to hear from someone genuine.
The money requested would be on its way to you but by coincidence PayPal emailed me this morning with a request to input my password and details of any linked credit/debit cards so they could be confirmed, and my National Insurance number and car's registration to authenticate everything. It's all to do with routine security maintenance which won't take more than 48 hours to complete during which time, quite naturally, I mustn't use my PayPal account.
I think it's really good of PayPal to be on the ball like this even if its spelling is a bit naff ('sekurity', 'maintenonse' etc.)0 -

You guys are lucky.
I met up with an old friend, Ford Prefect, and within the hour my planet had been demolished.
Yours etc,

Azari: if you check your inbox, there should be an email there from Sister Sunbeam Talbot (one of the Rev's relatives) to say she's found an unclaimed planet in your file. So cheer up, eh?
