Bet that is not the last attempted contact
Know of one instance where someone sent.. can't remember the amount, but around $5000. The next tale was the sender was needed to visit the bank in Nigeria to sign some paperwork for.. whatever.. zillions - and this person actually flew there - duh?
But.. he never got near a bank and was kidnapped from the hotel and that started a long and boring negotiation process with LE in an attempt to get him released.
All was well in the end, - the kidnappers released him unharmed for a relatively small ransom - around $10K ish. But... could have been worse...
