At a previous office I consulted for, and mid-level exec...VP got caught in Nigerian scam. It came to a head when 2 FBI agents showed up to the office to request an interview with him....caused by him calling the bank that morning telling them to be on the lookout for a 105M wire coming in from Nigeria into his personal checking account.
The FBI agents explained to him that he was a fraud victim and the 10-20k "fees" he had spent on his "nigerian lawyers" was a scam.
He was otherwise a smart and capable person....it was hard to believe he fell for it, but evidently its a popular scam for a reason.
