We view this type of scam with a high degree of amusement and incredulity, the fact that the author, and others like him/her have gone to the trouble of creating this stuff and putting it out there must surely mean there are still those among us who fall for this rubbish.
In case you were wondering, a little bit about Benin,
Benin, a French-speaking West African nation, is a birthplace of the vodun (or voodoo) religion and home to the former Dahomey Kingdom from circa 16001900. In Abomey, Dahomey's former capital, the Historical Museum occupies two royal palaces with bas-reliefs recounting the kingdoms past and a throne mounted on human skulls. To the north, Pendjari National Park offers safaris with elephants, hippos and lions.
