The criminal activities of Nigerian scam gangs has been very well known for almost two decades by now. Although names and places and other details may change in the various scam posts, the pattern behind this is always the same - fantastic job witzh fantastic terms and conditions offered; you send your replies and are then asked for some advance payment; and after such payment has been made, you will never hear back from them.

Just do not reply to such emails when you receive them......

For fun, I want to make up my own story; here it is:

A fantastic ESL job for Australian kangaroos to teach English to Nigerian crocodiles- Teachers Urgently Needed!

Dear Sir,

I am Mr. Dracula Frankenstein working as an engineer for a large oil company in Nigeria. For my pet, a Nigerian crocodile, I need a highly qualified English teacher with only 2 hours of work per week and a guaranteed monthly salary of 2.500 USD a month. The successful candidate will be living with our family in a nice separate apartment in a big house with many servants. Candidates from the community of Australian kangaroos are preferred as previous studies have shown that crocodiles respond particularly well to Australian kangaroos as teachers of English (in eating them up).
This is your chance, so do not miss it and apply to us immediately!

You will be sent a response to send some cash for covering initial visa, residence permit and related costs! It is expensive to work for Nigerian engineers with crocodiles as pets. You either pay with money and will lose it, or you risk the chance of being eaten up! Beware!
