Artacle in paper this morning about a man who lost £150000 after he received a begging email from someone in Nigeria saying that his mother was seriously ill and they needed money for her medical treatments. He promptly gave money, then she "died" and they needed money for the funeral which he duely provided. And then he apparently got an email from the FBI saying they were investigating these emails and they needed money for the investigation which he gave them!
Sorry but what an idiot!
