Is it Nigeria that virtually runs its economy on those?

I wouldn't say that, but there IS a scam that runs out of Nigeria.
You get a fax from someone saying that they work in the Nigerian government, and are trying to get themselves and their family out of Nigeria. They need money from you--$5000 US or so. But, once they get out of the country, they have access to Swiss accounts...or some shit like that. I got that when I used to download all my company's faxes a few years ago. We all had a good laugh off that one.
