There is really interesting yet somehow disturbing trend that a lot of these foreign scams use a westerner to provide a feel of honesty and legitimacy. I read a story before that during the massacre of Rwanda the dominant faction hired a Belgian and made him the biggest radio star in Rwanda. His job was to tell Rwandan Hutus that it was ok to murder Tutsis. Somehow the Hutus felt better if these instructions came from a European.
