I watched a documentary on this, and it said that the scammers move to another country when law enforcement is getting too close.

This article 10/23/09 says yes. I am amazed. Nigeria actually arrests, shuts down online scammers Nigerian officials have launched a new initiative called “Project Eagle Claw” that will target Internet scams coming out of the country. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission has already made a number of arrests and shut down 800 websites, with many more to come. http://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/news/2009/10/nigeria-actually-arrests-shuts-down-online-scammers.ars I found this while looking for info about FBI arrests in the phishing scams that were happening with more frequency than usual last month.
