Yerro,
I was just being sarcastic!. I agree fully with Mboge, it is the victims who
should be blamed. Reading the story reminded me of my visit to the Gambia in
2001, when I almost got into it with a close cousin. The cousin (we are the
same age) called me and said he is visiting me together with a good friend
who is a marabout from Mbour... When they arrived my cousin told me about
how this guy can make a $100 bill into 10 notes, and that he did it for a
lot of "semesters" in Dakar. The irony of it all is that he can only do it
in dollars or sterlings etc... no CFA, no dalasi. I told them that I had
changed all my dollars and have only dalasis. They hanged around the whole
day trying to convince me to go buy some dollars... I told them NO, and that
I am not even interested in such things. What I have is enough.

Three days later, they came and said the man is willing to do it in dalasis,
but I have to deposit some crazy amount... Boy, they kept on bugging me
until I had no choice but to tell them to leave. To make a story short and
just like you indicated, it is the victims who are shortsighted. I heard of
stories of people selling their bulls, farming tools, etc for these
scams.And, hey.... our "bandirabays" and sometimes in the forefront of this
- Essa Bah... LOL
