yes but you would be suprised how much them nigerian scams work! i mean those emails that everyone here knwos about claiming you have won 12 million or promises of millions from a dead person or whatever they say..
i found videos on youtube and people have been taking out loans selling their posetions to send money thinking they will get millions back!! and one australien guy sent money for 16 years he was addicted to doing it.. and this guy was a doctor and supposed to be really cleaver.
also some students pay for accomodation online and the seller will say send some money with western union to a freiend or someone you trust. but i need a copy of the reciept and then they use identity theft to go and take the money.. so the person travels from fasr away.. one guy was a greek from greece he payed money and lost it but thaty was less money about 600 euros.
the nigerian scammers fool people allover the world and some have scammed for over 400 thousand some for less. they are willing to meet you.
there is a whole show about tv presenters scamming the scammers and fooling them to so they are put off. but even though security is much tighter these days it still happens a lot more then you would think
