When I worked in the finance sector I remember laughing at one of those Nigerian money scam emails (the ones that say " have $50 million US$ in a secret account and just need all your bank details so I can transfer it to you" etc etc) I made some comments about the stupidity of anyone who would fall for such an obvious con. A colleague (very red faced) admitted that some of his wealth businessmen clients had actually been taken in and only just escaped having their bank accounts cleaned out due to their bank getting suspicious about the transaction! Human greed makes people behave in strange ways - that's how conmen work.
