Truly amazing.... does anyone really fall for this?

Unbelievably, yes. I live in rural Georgia, about 20,000 in our county, and a detective at the sheriff's office was telling me about the cases he's investigated just in the last year involving this and similar Nigerian mafia internet crimes. Usually elderly people who end up losing substantial portions of their nest eggs. It's really sad. He told me about one old man who had been ripped off three times and lost in the neighborhood of $30,000 before he realized what was happening.
