didn't someone spoof the hell out of the scammers by seeming to fall for the fraud, and setting up an appointment in a restaurant with webcams in it, and then posting invitations to people all over the internet to watch the criminals show up just to be disappointed?

and wasn't that an unnecessarily long sentence?

Why do people deposit so much money in Nigerian banks.  It seems like such a hassle to get it out.

Is it like a poor man's Caymans?  Well, poor, relatively speaking, of course.
