Call it a stupidity tax.

First rule:

You never have to or should pay someone to give you money, they can just deduct what you owe them and give you the rest.

This guy deserves to lose his money - surely if he has that amount of money, he's also got some sense to know that it's a scam?

You calling us not-so-rich people dumb? But then again, the more money you've got, the less you care if some of it goes to waste. (not talking out of experiance here, sadly)

I assume this man inherited his money, how else would you allow yourself to fall for that one. Seriously. If you have a few million coming your way, the first thing you spend money on is a PI cum lawyer to suss it out.

Then someone with brains can tell him that two Nigerians called Lucky and Pasta are pulling his leg.
