I feel bad for this guy that a dishonest mugu has successfully stolen from him.

The considerate seller contacted the buyer at the e-mail address he had, and told him he sent too much money," said Shastany. "The buyer said thank you, and told him to keep an extra $100, and to send the other $2,900 by Western Union to a location in Nigeria."

I think being as wise as we are here to this type of scam we sometimes forget how easy it could be for a decent honest guy to get taken in by this.
I think a large majority of non-scam aware people would do exactly the same as this guy.
Just another reason to keep hitting the lads hard Evil or Very Mad

I figured when the word Nigeria appears in an email addressed to you, you run for cover immediately(delete it). It's irritating to know that mugu theif is $4000 richer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Evil or Very Mad
