Surprisingly lots of people fall for this kind of scam every year. I just can't understand that anyone would fall for something like this, especially not when the offer comes from Nigeria. Nigeria-letters anyone? They been around since the 80s, it's impossible not to have heard about them by now.

I read a story about antoher scam a few days ago, which also had it's origin in Nigeria. One of the victims is a Norwegian supreme court judge! I would have thought that someone with so much knowlede about the judicial system would know better than to fall for a Nigeria-letter.
