Agree with Maccawolf, again.
But the reason they keep doing stuff like this is precisely because there are some sad folks who WILL fall for it.
It should also be noted that the American got busted for helping out the Nigerian scammers. The guys in Nigeria haven't been brought to justice yet as I can see.
Good job for the good guys for once. 1 down, infinity to go.
