Most of us are familiar with the email scam that involves a message being sent from somebody claiming to be a government official or member of the royal family from a third world country or a long-lost relative of the email recipient, etc.. The "Nigerian" scam is one of the oldest cons in the book, but, believe it or not, there are actually people who still get sucked into it.
The person sending the email supposedly says, due to security threats, he needs a way to safely transfer a few million dollars worth of funds to a bank account outside his country, so he implores you to "help" by sending a big fee and your checking account information and you will get 10-30% of these millions wired to your account.
When a registered nurse from Oregon received one of these emails, she fell for it hook line and sinker, told to wire $8,200 and she would be wired millions
After the so-called "transfer" of millions was delayed, she sent more money after promises that there would be a larger reward. This went on for two years before she realized she was being scammed.
How much money did she lose?
Try $400,000!
