I admitted a guy that had fallen for a variation on the Nigerian Scam. He was crazy and gullible. He'd already dumped $25K into the black hole, and was more than willing to throw more into the kitty.

His parents were terrified that he'd be killed, because apparently they'd been in contact with the FBI to see if there was anything they could do on their son's behalf, and the newest wrinkle involves the scammer getting the victim to travel to some foreign country with no extradition to the US where they kill the victim after taking the last chunk of money. He had his plane ticket booked already.
