It is, but bear in mind that scams can originate anywhere. Dishonest people exist in all countries.

The type of fraud I think the questioner means appears to have started in Nigeria and been particularly prolific there, but similar tricks have been known elsewhere. I have had one such letter from (or perhaps via) Canada, and another from Hong Kong; but the principle - trying to trick the recipient into helping transfer a sum of money - was the same.
