>>14739907Mate, you're fucked in the head. This is nothing like a "Nigerian prince". They contacted the corporation in question (VShoujo) and were expecting an answer from the corporation which didn't come, instead they got contacted by people who were pretending to be who they were expecting a communication from.
If you want your nigerian prince analogy here, it's as if you contact the nigerian prince for a business deal and instead of him an indian scammer contacts you for the same deal from a nigerian e-mail that looks almost identical to the princes pretending to be the prince.
The only people who would have seen through this are paranoid 80s and 90s Internet veterans and people who practice unusual level of opsec. Eg not women, not people who use twitter and not people who want to be vtubers. None of this is common sense. It's not common sense to whois domains nor is it common sense to check headers to make sure no spoofing is afoot. I bet you don't do that for even 1/2 of the e-mails you receive.
