A woman in the US recently fell victim ( if you can call it that ) to this scam.

She was transferring money there in such large amounts that the State DOJ contacted her that she was in violation of law by doing so and would be prosecuted if she continued.

Woman out $400K to 'Nigerian scam' con artists

"Investigators with the Oregon Department of Justice initially discovered Spears when they were investigating a different money laundering case. While looking at Western Union money transfers, they noticed someone had wired $144,000 to Nigeria over the course of three short weeks. It got their attention."
