Music producer stalked by Nigerian spammers

Christian Julian Irwin told police that he was being pursued by Nigerians who had contacted him in an Internet scam. He was found naked, washing his jeans in a small stream, as you do.

The producer, 48, who has worked with the likes of Carly Simon and David Bowie, so is no stranger to fear, was taken in to custody because police feared that he might harm himself.

Police started to look for him after he called a friend saying he was being pursued by people with dogs. He told his friend he was running through water and had lost his glasses and shoes in a creek.

It is not clear if there was a million dollars in his bank account from a mysterious Nigerian mining company or not.
