I am sure I could google this, but I wonder how much value was 10k USD to some in London. By the middle I was like ehh, great way to waste money (scarastic tone)
By the end, great ending for the holiday season.

I am sure I could google this, but I wonder how much value was 10k USD to some in London.

I love the irony of giving it to a Nigerian group who actually need the money.

In the end a lot of girls will be able to have life changing fistula surgery. How dare anyone criticize this company. They've improved these girls lives more than anyone with a computer able to read this will ever be capable of understanding. That is priceless and worth this video stunt.

Instead of filming elaborate, time wasting games, engineered to insure people take away the impression some good came of this sophmoric crap. Fairly feeble.

It's a cute idea, but not a very good one in terms of stopping email scams @Jack I figure that since they ARE the bank they would have his address if they had his name and, this might not even be required, bank details.

Wonder what do you need the full name and bank details for??? And how do they know the address of this person when he only replied with his name and bank details???

People already have enough problems to worry about. Now we're encouraging them to give out there bank account details in hopes that they might be the next lucky person?! Giving the money directly to charity is some clever way would have been much better. What a terrible idea. People already have enough problems to worry about.
