A woman actually fell for the Nigerian bank transfer scam

… and she embezzled millions from her business to help “expedite the process.”

I hope we’re not to late to stop her before she breeds.

Moron.

She’s 59 years old. Yes, it’s too late.

Poor lady. She could be liv’in large in the Caymans or something.

Lots of people fall for 419 scams. Why do you think the attempts are so common now? Because they work. There’s a Brazilian bank that lost millions after one of its directors was taken in by impostors claiming to represent a Nigerian central bank; I posted a cite recently that claimed ‘advance fee’ 419 scams are something like (IIRC) a US$5m industry annually.
