was out of california , some guy fell for one of those nigerian banking scams, the one he feel for was like this . dude who claims to be from nigerian govt who secreted away several million dollars in offshore accounts , and he just needs your bank account to transfer in the funds.. then you split the cash with him..

anyways , the scammer couldnt get access to the guys account so he tried claiming that they were on t him and they were going to kill him ( the dupe ) , anyways the dude freaked out and ended up killing himself thinking nigerian dudes were on there way to his house to kill him ..
