Behind Nigerian 419 Scams
Nigerian 419 Scams can be traced even back to the fax machine days and snail mail was the common business communication means. And since email is the preferred method nowadays, more Nigerian 419 Scams spread all throughout the net. The said scam claims to be the relative of some high-profile deceased and arrested political figure who have horded millions of dollars in cash and is seeking for someone to help transfer the money in exchange for a big percentage of the money. And to prove that they are legit, victims are presented with forged and official documents in convincing the email user. And then they claim fees and bribes that must be paid as your account is being set up.
