I am in hurry writing you this short message, i traveled to Nigeria and i got my self stranded.I am really stranded in Nigeria because I forgot my bag in the Taxi where my nexus one were kept on my way to the Hotel am staying, I am facing a hard time here because i have no nexus one on me. I am stuck using inferior phones which do nothing except accept and receive phone calls. I need this help from you urgently to help me back home, I need you to help me by sending me a nexus one to sort out my problems here. I will appreciate what so ever Nexus One you can afford to send me for now and I promise to pay back your money as soon as i return home, so please let me know on time so that i can forward you the details you need to transfer the Nexus One to me.

THE STORY ENDS WELL; after an extensive email list conversation among the 3000+ Googler Alumni it was determined I was not actually a Nigerian 519 email scammer trying to get my hands on a coveted Google Phone or at least not one with any chance of getting a Google phone from them for less than $400. I was eventually reinstated to the list.
This, of course, is a joke; however the type of scam I am spoofing is not.
