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.

Nope, messaged some company's, never heard back from them.
It's a bit shitty at the moment in terms of jobs, since it's practically shitty pay wherever you go, but the jobs that you can currently get are shitty in execution on top, it's a bit of a waiting game atm.
