I almost got hit years ago by the Nigerian "millions" scam.
Anyone seen that one ?
Yeah it's pretty bad out there, gangs of kid uses net cafes to try and hit wealthy westerners who are not technologically aware enough to realise it's a dupe.
There was a TV show on a while back which went to Nigeria and exposed some of the gangs. Some of the dodgy fake medicine trade aimed at the US market (where a lot of people can't afford perscriptions) are manufactured here.

I think the medicine situation is the worst, it's pretty sad that people have to resort risking buying **** of the net because they can;t afford basic health care in their native country (a first world country at that).
