On the Samba.com homepage, under the heading "News" is
a link to a story titled "African Scams"
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/11/01/eveningnews/main527883.shtml
The CBS News story explains how the scam works.

A Google search for "Nigerian scam" garnered this
site,

which explains a common variation of the scam and a US
Govt. contact should you be scammed or propositioned.

'course, maybe that's a scam too ...
