I wonder how many people they victimized over time.

Lots of people. I spoke with the head of our local police fraud squad and he said they knew of at least 5 fraud cases in town (pop. 30k) relating to this ring.
Another of the telltale trademarks of their emails is they're always in broken english and the phonetics are fucked up. They almost always involve some sort of money transfer using Western Union.
They must troll various buy & sell online forums (and/or Usenet newsgroups) and target sellers with big ticket items for sale.
