I read the first few emails and then stopped.

Internet is internet. Wikipedia is more reputable than most stuff on the internet, but teachers and profs don't let you use it as a source. That's becuase anything on the internet can be fabricated. What proof does this site have that its claims are real?

I find it really difficult to believe that somebody like a stockbroker, who makes money out of money for a living, or a treasurer (ie veteran politician,) will buy the Nigerian bank scam. A lot of older people don't understand the internet, but they DO understand the concept of predatory junk mail. If you receive a letter in the mail that is poorly written and claims to be from an official source, you trash it. Once, my mom got a "bill" from "collections" from some company, alleging she had purchased a book from them, (the book was about collections,) and now she owed them 143 dollars. She told me to write them a letter saying that if they sent her any more mail, she'd press charges. A stock broker or a politician wouldn't really react differently to such things. I really don't think somebody would invest 1.3 million dollars based on an unsolicited letter. I think this type of scam succeeds on smaller amounts, and generally against less educated people.
