Condition #2 demanded secrecy. Of course, they’re not going to send you the $17 million now.

He only wants you to send him $10,000 for processing so he can transfer your money to your account. Sadly there are some, who are gullible enough to be taken in by this.

30+ years ago I remember reading a short news article in Byte magazine (anyone remember that one?) that said MI5 said on an average week five Americans showed up at the hotel lobby where the "Nigerian prince" was going to deliver them the money described in the popular (snail mail) scam of the day.

With email being free it's natural to figure scumbags will send out billions of these things knowing that there are still people stupid and greedy enough to fall for the scam.

For one reason or another there is always a "doctor" involved. There is always a bank transfer involved. There are always millions involved.

Years ago I got a fax in my office. It offered a huge fee for helping with a money transfer.
I have these crazy offers coming for years. They usually come from places in like Nigeria.
I sometimes think they profile who they send it to. Like senior citizens like me. Thinking
we might take the hook.
Now I am getting phone solicitation on my cell at least 10 a day.
We are out of control.
