Why don't you or family scam her first, and then give the money back slowly?

The thing about Nigerian 419 scammers is that , like most companies, the people you deal with are low wage call center employees, not the ringleaders who get the profit

That's not a bad idea. A family member could offer to help the next transfer by personally delivering the cash, just to make sure that such a large transfer is safe.

Wouldn't that constitute theft, though? The intented recipient is stealing, for sure, but if she wants to send the money and you pretend to deliver but keep it...

Yes, that's fishy. And if the scammer has some balls, he will talk the victim into sending the cops after you. Have fun.
