Nigerian Nightmare

[san rensho]

An attorney in Miami got hit for $90K by the Nigerians. The scam was, a potential client hires the attorney to collect back child support. Attorney contacts the deadbeat dad who is willing to pay. Deadbeat dad gives the attorney a cashiers check for the amount, attorney deposits the check and takes his cut and gives the client her share. A month later, the bank debits attorney's account because, of course, the check was a fake. The attorney then has to make good on the funds because they came out of his trust account!
