Nigerian Scam works up north here !

A law firm here in Michigan lost over $2 MILLION when one of their employees fell for the scam.

Apparently, the banks could care less about watching out for their customer's money. In this case, the employee had a limit on how big of a transfer she could make, but the bank didn't bat an eye when she started transferring hundreds of thousands of dollars overseas.

Note that this was a trust account, so much of the money actually belonged to clients of the law firm.

The last I heard, the law firm was suing the bank for restitution.

:) Oh, I mean, I've always wondered too how the bank lets people fall for this. You would think some common sense would fall out of someone somewhere along the chain.

It's the same with all the spam on 'buy prescription drugs' we get in emails - (if you aren't getting much, your server is screening it out..) it's just silly, all the spam would stop if people would _not_ reply to it.

I wish no one would respond positively to spam & telemarketing. It would go away on it's own. Life would be a better place. :)

Somebody was looking to score some easy cash and found out the hard way that there are bad people in this world. It looked too good to be true, but their greed got in the way of their common sense.
