Kitanu. thanks for your understanding this is the email. i hope u will help in curping this type of mails. Seun Osewa < admin@nairaland.com> wrote: Hello, This is Seun Osewa, admin/owner of www.nairaland.com (Nigeria's largest online forum). I am writing you because i think you may be interested in the purchase of nairaland website. I have other projects asides nairaland that needs urgent attention and i'm in dire need of money at this time. I wish to sell off nairaland.com (the entire website) for a meagre US$10,000(negotiable). I call it meagre because i know the site is far worth more than that. I've actually spent more than that to put the site where it is today. - Nairaland rakes in $1000-$1,400 in google adsense revenue and an additional $800(approximately) in local ads every month. However i spend almost $200 maintaining the site monthly (cost of webspace and internet service). - Nairaland has over 65,000 members and is growing every minute and over 8000daily visits (so many guests visits). - Nairaland is indexed on google's first 10 results in several related keywords especially as regards to anything nigerian. Most of our traffic actually comes from google. - Nairaland was built on the robust and solid smf software so anybody who can operate a computer can administer the site. No programming knowledge needed. i spend less than 2hrs daily administring the site. Nairaland is a very good/promising website but the only reason I'm sell it off is because i desperately need $10,000 urgently to meet a pressing need and i know a few people have shown interest in buying the site so i'm giving it to the highest within the next 2 wks. I used my savings on other stuffs. don't want to talk about that. Just need a deal now. Once deal is clinched, i'll hand over all admin passwords and everything about the site including changing the registeration details. Please do not put these in the forum. I need to seal the deal secretly until everything has been done because i do not need any advice/comments (from people) as regards selling the forum so lets keep communication via the email or phone convo. So if interested call me on +234 808 253 5578 or send replies to oluwaseun.osewa@gmail.com instead (i prefer using gmail's mail client). I only sent this from admin@nairaland.com so you wont need ask for proofs again. Thanks Oluwaseun |

I find it rather strange that it is taking the Site Administrator so long to post a Disclaimer.

Seun, I'm dissapointed you didn't look into e-mailing me first. Very dissapointed!  |

That does not look like something Seun would type. Seun does not type like that, and he hardly/never makes grammatical errors. His email ID is seun.osewa, not oluwaseun.osewa. But then, the writer's analysis of Nairaland's statistics looks like what only the admin would know. This is really confusing.  Where's Seun?  |

No, for real, how could you believe such a load of crunk?. Everything about the e-mail screams "SCAM". Well done, goodguy for spotting out that this e-mail is not authentic.
In addition to what goodguy has said:
- Why wouldn't 'admin' want it to be on the forum, the largest potential customer base he's got?
- Or better still whenever theres "a pressing need" that everyone needs to know, 'admin' has always sent out personal messages in red to everyone's nairaland account for example the "Do not talk about death of any Nairaland member" saga
- Anyone could get/make up Nairaland stats easily. There are a few clues on the top right corner on the front page when you log in. For example there are currently 64960 members, 28582 topics and 728181 posts at the time of this entry!
- Google is accessible to everyone, not just Nairaland admin. Type in a few of Nairaland topics - related keywords on google and see what comes up. Click on any topic also and the google adwords on every thread are evident for all to see.
- As for the figures for gross profit and maintenance costs, what happened to guessing? Surely 'guessing' should be an option?
- Smf software? Surely that exists but I don't even know what stands for! Does that make it technical enough for you to believe that it makes Nairaland 'easy to operate with no programming knowledge?' I believe the site admin is a programmer, so where then do his skills and programming knowledge come in? Not at all? Don't you find that funny?
- 'Please do not put these on the forum'? Why not? For fear of this hoax being analysed?
- admin@nairaland.com. That's easy. Follow these simple steps.
Register a fake but convincing gmail account e.g osewa.seun@gmail.com, oluwaseun.osewa@gmail.com, seunosewa@gmail.com
Open your gmail e-mail account
Click on 'settings' (top right after your e-mail address)
Click on the 'Accounts' tab (after 'General')
You will now see your name and your e-mail address as it is displayed on outgoing messages. Below that you will see link to 'Add another e-mail address'
Click on this link and in your name field, type in admin@nairaland.com.
Send out con e-mail.
Lastly, 'admin' initially said if he was going to sell Nairaland, the non-negotiable cost was 2bn naira! I'm sure there are people on this forum who wouldn't mind paying close to that for the site, why sell it for a meagre $10,000? Could it be because he didn't put in time, and effort in?

I'm dissapointed that nobody emailed me about this attempt at fraud for such a long time. I did not send it, and I don't intend to send any ridiculous emails of that nature. You should have sent a reply to admin@nairaland.com. Obviously the scammer doesn't want that. Pitiful. |

This act is really alarming. Once the administrator is not the author of the mail then let the forum continue.

I may have to email every member of the forum to make sure they don't get swindled.

The earlier you do that, the better it do be. Thinking that some people are out there with a knowledge of fraud existing in them, quite terrible.   |

I actually did get the email myself and thot it would be stupid for Seun to want to sell Nairaland for such a cheap price so i dismissed it. How can you sell a business that supposedly generates $1000 every month for $10,000. It was just one of those stupid boys. Anyways, apart from small errors, he was quite convincing with his apt analysis and discourse. These yahoo yahoo boys are gettimg better oh |

kitaun, the email was sent to some others too.

So Seun,
Let us suppose that as an entrepreneur, you did have pressing business matters. e.g. Donald Duke was elected, and needed some bright young brains on board his cabinet.
How much would you sell NairaLand for and why do you feel its worth that much/little?
, And please never say never.
