There are hundreds of variations on the Nigerian e-mail scams, including one in which the victims are told they've inherited millions, millions in money that has been painted black to smuggle it out of Nigeria.

In the scam, as caught on hidden cameras in Amsterdam, victims are told there is a special, very expensive chemical that can clean the black money so it can be used.

The latest idiots to get caught by this scheme include a California heart surgeon who was bilked out of $340,000 and a fundamentalist Christian church.

The victim is told the chemical can cost up to $200,000 a batch. And the scammers put on an elaborate demonstration to show how it works. Powders are sprinkled; the money is washed; and presto, it's clean.

Of course, the demonstration is done with real bills while the remainder of the black bills are just pieces of paper.
