You really have to give these scammers credit for this kind of stuff. Wonder who comes up with these...

What's really worrying is this hint I noticed:
Africa and London United Kingdom   :^)

[SiMuLaCrUm]

That's the only thing that really gives it away.

That's the only thing that really gives it away.

For me, it was common sense that gave it away.

Well, according to many people, I lack that xD

I think this must be a joke.

In order for this to be effective, enough people would have had to fall for the first scram in order for the scammers to actually get returns from this second one.

Could that many people really have fallen for the Nigerian money laundering scam over the years?
