The Nigerian Spam Scam Scam
Conceived by Dean Cameron

Please help me! I am beneficiary to a fortune of 30 million dollars!!!"
You've seen something like that in at least one e-mail a week. You've deleted it immediately or you've read it and wondered what was going on. The short version of the scam is: The scammers find someone greedy and/or gullible enough to open an "offshore" account at the cost of around $2,000. After a lot of maneuvering on the scammer's part, the victim is left penniless or worse: dead.

Actor Dean Cameron did not delete the email, but instead, began corresponding with one of the scammers. Writing as a lonely millionaire from Florida whose only companions were a Philippine houseboy, Kwan, and two cats, Mr. Snickers and JoJo the Dancing Clown, Cameron lured the unsuspecting scammer into a nine-month correspondence full of intrigue, broken hearts, confusion, frustration and colon trouble.
