Actually, these Nigerian scams are worse than just ending up with less
money. Several people have been kidnapped and some have ended up dead after
being conned into going to Nigeria to personally oversee the transfer of
money out of the country.
Not nice people.
I believe that the FBI website has quite a bit of information on this.
