Why do I get these emails?

from a Nigerian man asking for help with transferring $$$?

Because I turned him down and told him that he might try you.

 

[Jasongivm6]

Thanks. I'll turn him down and tell him he'd get along better with you.

I got a couple of those a few months ago... pretty crazy, I started college a few days later, and have a Nigerian professor...

It's so sad that people actually fall for that one.
