All about the Mugu
Back in the Day...
Well, the interwebs was a different world back in the early 2000s. It was still the Wild West, and some really awesome websites have since expired—sites like Ernie's House of Whoopass, Cruel Site of the Day, Heavy, and FreudSlipped, to name a few.
The business I worked for would receive these faxes(yep, I'm old) soliciting partners for these amazing and lucrative ventures into overseas opportunities. Not long after entering the wild frontier of the 'World Wide Web,' our new 'Email' inboxes started filling up with heart-wrenching tales of poor chaps needing help to free funds held hostage by sinister governments, greedy banks, and giant corporations. Naturally, they promised a nice chunk of change if we played the hero. Who knew our email accounts would turn into a bizarre audition for 'Financial Robin Hood'?
So I started my quest in January of 2002 by baiting several characters presented on this site. Tobi was to become my favorite and I wasted nearly 6 months of this man's life, trying to extract money from me. Sadly, like many endeavors, it got to be very tedious and I spent a lot of time doing it. I am starting with these OG characters and perhaps will solicit new ones.
Disclaimer 2002:
This site isn't here to be derogatory or racist. Any references are purely to poke fun, antagonize, frustrate, waste time, infuriate, and make fools of those scammers across the ocean. It was created with the intent of being humorous and informative. So, after all this, if you are still offended, I suggest you go find a tree to hug, drink a beer, and fuckin relax. You probably got up on the left side of the bed this morning and haven't had your bran. Also, Most of the shit on this site is original work except the Nigerian Email conference. I found that so freakin funny I had to put it up -- It was put together by a cat name John Walkenbach at www.spreadsheetpage.com - This dude is into everything -- from technical books (Excel) to some really great humor -- check his site out.

Again, this site is purely for entertainment purposes and does not reflect the amazing people of Nigeria or the fabulous continent of Africa. Some of these crafty scammers hail from places like The Ivory Coast, Benin, and beyond. Nigeria just happened to be the epicenter where this notorious scam first made its grand debut, hence the name “419 Scam” or the fancier “Advanced Fee Scam.”
So, don't go thinking we've got anything against the wonderful folks of these countries. We're just here to have a good laugh, waste some scammers’ time, and maybe give a little education along the way.If you find yourself getting riled up, just take a deep breath, hug a tree, sip on a cold beer, and remember to have your bran in the morning. Life’s too short to be serious all the time! Now, let's get back to the hilarity of dodging those fake princes and phony inheritances. Enjoy!
