Advance Fee Fraud: Richard Yengeni

Spare me! I can't get through reporting all the nasty lies without another one arriving in the meantime! Oh well, at least 419s aren't hard to spot or classify. This is the standard tale of someone with millions seeking a "business partner" to assist in the spiriting away of the funds. We've heard it all before a thousand times at least -- only the names change.
