It is also referred to as "Advance Fee Fraud" and "419 Fraud" after the relevant section of the Criminal Code of Nigeria. Official Notification You first receive a letter, fax or e-mail from an insider or alleged "official" representing a present or former foreign government or agency. The letter, while appearing transparently bogus and even ridiculous to most, is unfortunately growing in its effectiveness and reach. Initially targeting businessmen, the scam has now expanded to include the average citizen due to the low cost of email transmission in relation to potential gains. Church officials are also being specifically targeted with uniquely worded offers of charitable bequests. The common thread is that the initial letter sets the stage and is the opening round of a scheme within a scheme. The following characteristics may be found in these letters. Historically mailed out, they have progressed on to faxes, then e-mails. Many are addressed to "president" or "CEO," rather than a specific name. They are marked "urgent" and "confidential." They may contain spelling mistakes and grammatical errors which give you a sense of intellectual superiority, sympathy, or assurance of origin. If mailed to you it will have foreign, exotic stamps. Written almost always in all capital letters reminiscent of older teletypes even though currently e-mailed. The dollar amounts to be transferred, invariably in the tens of millions of dollars, is also written out in text form. ie $32,460,000 USD ( Thirty-two million, four hundred and sixty thousand United States Dollars ) They say you have been recommended for, or they have verified, your honesty and business acumen.
