Submission + - Woman Admits Sending $400K to Nigerian Scammer

svnt writes: Janella Spears wiped out her husband's retirement account, remortgaged their paid-for house, and took out a lien against the family car in an attempt to cash in on the deal. A undercover officer involved with the investigation called it the worst example of the scam he's ever seen. Thoughtfully, Spears has gone public with her story as a warning to others not to fall victim.

No mention is made of Microsoft's denial of alleged efforts to pay the Nigerian government an equivalent amount.
