I received today what I think is the longest Nigerian Scam I have ever seen. Nothing special in the text, maybe except that it is written with only a few punctuation signs and in a terrible English.

Fig. 1: The longest Nigerian scam I've seen yet.

The special thing about it is that it has 1253 words on 50 lines. As you can imagine, on a computer with a decent resolution you have to scroll quite a lot in order to see the entire email. That’s also because Outlook is also wrapping the words and the message gets even longer.

Did you ever receive a Nigerian Scam so long? If you did, then please send it to us at antispam@avira.com.
