    Mike, what if the guy had been serious.

      That would have been a lot more entertaining.

          MtG that is a great story!

          Anyways, my friend contacted the FBI and they basically told him that this happened on such a scale that they didn't have the manpower to pursue these scammers. This is a very low priority priority for the FBI, and he's screwed. So I guess whoever suggested moving to Nigeria and becoming a scammer had the best idea. :/

            Your friend is so very, very, stupid. Very stupid. Very, very, very, very, very, very stupid.

            However, he was the victim of a scam, no matter how very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very stupid he was getting involved with it. So I think he should have some legal grounds on which to not be held liable for the money (or all of it, anyway).

            He needs a lawyer, fast. Preferably one who takes personal checks.

              Negligence (i.e. stupidity) is a defense to any criminal charges that he intended to commit fraud, but it's not a defense to civil liability, in contract or in tort.

                  I especially like the story about the scammer who is made to fill a 64 pages long Cerrtificate conderning money laundry, which involves a lot of very personal questions (like "Do you urinate more than 10 times a day?" or "Does a premature ejaculation on your part trouble you?")
                  and afterwards is convinced to send someone to Scotland because he was made believe that he then receives the money

                              Here in China I have a naive American friend who was all set to fly to Africa to get a contract signed (similar scam, they usually jump the foreigner at the airport).

                              His Chinese boss nixed the deal. Chinese don't often fall for this sort of thing - hard to scam a scammer.

                                Your friend needs to beat up the first Nigerian he sees in the streets. And make him work for the 10k for him.
