Caught a piece on one of the news programs while flipping channels. A lady at a law firm fell for one of these and ran out of money, she stole more than $300,000 from the firm to keep sending more fees. (I think this one was a mine to be opened.)

Yes, there are still people caught by these scams. People who should know better.

Saw that too, It was on one of the broadcast network's evening news programs. The scammers changed it to some other African country and made it sound more impressive. This was one poor piece of journalism. When they interviewed the President of the company, he was saying he didn't know how the accountant (the lady) could take all of their money. It was two large transfers. I was about to feel sorry for him but was waiting for the reporter to ask if his company had any safeguards but they never asked. Most companies have rules where a top corporate official needs to approve purchases over a certain amount. It looks like his didn't, the accountant had a free hand. She's on her way to jail but said she's still confident the money will show up. LOL.
