email scam (Nigerian)

Police and federal agents in Bradley County Tennessee arrested four
African men from the New York area, enroute to Pensacola Florida to
scam someone out of thousands of dollars.They were stopped on I-75
near Cleveland by a trooper and had two suitcases full of what looked
like stacks of money covered in a smelly, black gooey substance. The
"black money" is really just pieces of paper cut and stacked to look
like stacks of real cash. The scammers coat it with a black substance,
so that it won't look like they're carrying cash. In between the
coated pieces of paper are a couple real bills, like $20, $50 or $100
notes. The scammers then dip a real bill into a solution, to make it
look like the whole pile is real once it's "washed."
Victims have been loosing hundreds of thousands of dollars in "Black
Money" cash advance fee scams.
It starts with an unsolicited e-mail asking for help. In almost all
cases it's a Nigerian-based scheme promising thousands, or millions of
dollars.
"we would like to think that common sense would kick in at that point."
But common sense is sometimes not that common.
"Request For Urgent Business Relationship"
The sender promises a big chunk of $25-million they have stashed, but
because of snags in their country they need someone to "set up an
account."
The scammers ask to send or exchange money with someone, to pay
"taxes" or "handling fees."
why do so many people fall for these scams, loosing hundreds of
thousands of dollars?
greed, people thinking they can make a fast buck. African scammers
have a name for their victims - "moogoo" - meaning Big Fool.
