Remember this from late last year ? http://www.stuff.co.nz/stuff/0,2106,3891882a11,00.html A Palmerston North mother and son have lost more than $200,000 to a Nigerian email scam "I knew it was a scam, but decided to play along with it." the mother said. "I was curious, but it went too far" ============= TVNZ did a piece on her last night Unbelievably the woman is in total denial and still paying out "I trust Nigerian lawyers" she says (never even met them), who "have won a court case for her in Nigeria to get more than than her money back ($2m)". Yeah, right. Now all she has to is simply pay the $55,000 court costs. What's she going to do ? http://tvnz.co.nz/view/tvone_minisite_index_skin/tvone_close_up_group Click on "Sucked In By Scams" to see her try to explain in a 7 minute video. "Sucked In" is an insult to those who really do get suckered.
