For years, third-world scammers have been getting first-world greedy fools to part with their money by promising them millions in exchange for their account information.

My sympathy for those who get scammed is limited -- if you honestly think that you can get 10% of the fortune left to the widow of a Nigeran army general by allowing your bank account to serve as a money laundry, then you'll probably get what you deserve.
