Nigerian scam

this is one MANY fall for. its a guy that says, hey, i gotsa cancar and ill give you my 9000+ million dollarz but, za bank wantz a verafication fee. zo pay me 420,000$ for 9,000,000$

well, you can see some red flags (the bad english can sometimes happen) he can just give his money for research and if its too good to be true, it is fake. but there is another scam like this:

hi i say your item on ebay, can you ship it to norway? (me:yes) [day later]

oh i forgot, my friend is going to nigeria, can you send it there? (me: no you scammer!) ;( if didn't wor- i mean---

yeah the web is filled with people wanting the $$$.
