Nigerian Chess Scams Challenged

Last week chessbase posted an article on nigerian chess scams (you can read it here) .

Well apparently the person responsible for the scam letter actually wrote chessbase a letter claiming it was legitimate!

However, Grandmaster Dr. Martin Roland, number 19 in world rankings, took the chess scammers up on their deal to see what would happen... with very interesting results.

Chessbase posts the entire email conversation on their website.
