Copywriter Publishes Nigerian Email Scam Novel

Former copywriter and creative director Rich Siegel has written a book, Tuesdays with Mantu: My Adventures with a Nigerian Con Artist, recounting his 7 week “experience” with a Nigerian email scam operation. It’s a mix of fiction and non-fiction with the “experience” part being fiction and the scam background and scam emails being the non-fiction part. We haven’t read it but it does sound interesting.

Oddly, it has Hollywood movie written all over it in our opinion.
