Olaolu Adegbite, head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission’s Advance Fee Fraud section in Lagos, said one man from the US had ended up paying $2.1m after been conned in this way.

“The gentleman got convinced when he arrived in the UK and the men were well-dressed, some black, some white, and looked responsible,” he said.

“He was convinced, he was carried away.”

In this case the fraudster was eventually caught in Nigeria and sentenced to 342 years in jail. He must also repay the $2.1m in full.

Yeah! That’ll take…like…342 years! (Maybe they’ll let him out in 300 for good behavior.)

Don’t worry. If you give him your bank account details he’ll transfer 35% of the years to you as a personal thanks.

I saw something online once where some American guy would go along with people who tried to pull that kind of scam on him and actually end up getting money out of the scammer. It was really funny, I wish I could remember where I found it.
