"...Dashti stated he was expecting travelers' checks from a lawyer in Nigeria, known only as Raymond, according to the criminal complaint.

Dashti stated he planned to deposit the checks into his account and wire the money to Janet Jones, allegedly from Nigeria. He said a $250,000 check in the package was from the settlement of Jones' grandmother's estate, according to court documents."

Dashti was released on a $100,000 cash deposit,

I hope they looked at the bills closely.

First person I have heard about actually being taken in by the Nigerian enterprise. I suppose there must be such folks around because the business just keeps going on and on. My firewall arrangement has eliminated them from my email but my neighbor, who tallies the different scams says he gets 20-30 new ones a week.
