IMO the real news here is that a bot managed to pass the Turing test well enough that after an hour talking with it you had to resort to out-of-band contacts to be sure it wasn't the person it was pretending to be.The more I think about it the less likely it seems that it was a bot, however, what else could it be for such a large-scale scam?
Official language in Nigeria is English (it was collony of England). So it is possible they have sweatshops similar to gaming sweatshops in China. Personally, I like the idea of bot more. I don't like to reverse engineer nigerian citizens. ;-)
