Is it just me...?


Or has anyone else ever really wanted to respond to one of those poor Nigerian Princes who just needs a US account to move their money out of the country? But not really respond, just kind of string them along for a wee bit to see what sort of sales tactics they employ. I think it could make for a really successful sales strategy book-- look for it in your local Borders business section this fall.

Do you ever listen to NPR? There is a This American Life about this very thing, American's who fall into the Nigerian mouse trap and those who string them along and use their own tactics on the Nigerians. I think it's even called "Build a Better Mouse Trap." Check it out! You'll love it.
