"This is a video created by a Nigerian email scammer who thinks he is producing a video for a scholarship payment from a victim he tried to scam. Unfortunately for this particular scammer, the "victim" fought back and created a fake video production company with promises of cash!"
Bear with me on this one. I was laughing so hard at the audaciousness that this video represents that I wasn't paying much attention to the performance (most of it IS terrible). What actually matters is that he convinced these guys to do it.
But I do know how clever the scambaiter, "Shiver Metimbers" is having read www.419eater.com in the past. The site seems offline right now but it's gloriously funny in it's own right, and this is surely the best "trophy" earned to date.

Go, Shiver Metimbers!
HaricotVertsays...Wow, they really worked hard on getting their lines right.
jonnysays...OMG - this is just the one part of a massive scam baiting operation lasting over a year. Shiver Metimbers got all kinds of trophies for his efforts, including a carved wooden bust of himself.
