Most interesting to me is that US Post Office is upset about this:

    http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/pressrel.htm

They don't seem to care so much that people are getting scammed, but that the
letters mailed from Nigeria to advance the fee-extorting phase of the scam
often use counterfeit postage!  Where else but here

    http://www.usps.gov/websites/depart/inspect/metercap.htm

could you learn that "Postage meters are not used in Nigeria -— therefore,
all postage meter impressions on Nigerian mail are counterfeit!"?
