Thanks for the heads-up.

I guess the Nigerian Prince of My Dreams has moved to Malaysia.

My wife has many patents in chemistry for industrial processes. She got a letter from the main bank in Indonesia asking her to open an account with them because her patent royalties were accumulating on hold because they needed an account to place them. It was accompanied by a letter from the US Consolate in Indonesia.

As an American she would need $5K to open that account so they could deposit her $3.2 Million US. I called them at 2:00AM and played along for a bit while an IT friend did some mapping of the call and internet data. Turns out it was some guys in New Jersey running the scam. When we called them again on an affiliated but different phone number (mind you these were calls going to Indonesia then routed to New Jersey) the guy answered the call with a North Jersey accent.

Our government didn't care. We passed the info on but nothing.
