A 419 Eater Scam-Bait · Namibia, 2006
The Road to the Skeleton Coast
The Skeleton Coast Safari — one bait, several hundred thousand dollars, and 3,700 miles of desert coastline.
Troy McClure, a disgruntled maintenance worker located at an outpost in Northwestern Namibia, stumbles across several hundred thousand dollars in a room. He's not sure how it got there or what it is intended for, but he is nearing retirement age and desides that he wants it for himself. He can't just walk away with it though. His outpost is on the Skeleton Coast. He will need outside help for this.
The desolate coastline of the Skeleton Coast is a spooky desert shore with massive sand dunes and treacherous rocks where mighty storms and violent surf claimed many ships through the centuries. Stories abound of sailors walking for hundreds of kilometres through this barren Namibian landscape in search of food and water only to perish in this hostile coastal desert.
