BOOK REVIEW

We've all had an email from the nephew of a recently-murdered diamond mine owner. Or the daughter of an imprisoned army 
general. Or anyone else in west Africa with access to a vast fortune – if only we can help them to release the cash.

Most of us recognise the Nigerian email scam and delete the messages. A few poor souls get sucked in and lose their 
savings. But Rich Siegel spotted the fraud, entered into an exchange for his own entertainment, and published the 
emails for ours.

His book, Tuesdays with Mantu: My Adventures with a Nigerian Con Artist, lets you follow his adventures as he takes the 
scammers on at their own game.
