I have the courage to ask you to look for a reliable and honest person who will be Translation: a complete mug who will fall for this stupid and repetitios scam because of the gilded hook dangled in front of him More info, distribute as needed: The above is an example of the Nigerian Scam, also called 419 Letters, or just plain 419. Most 419 letters and emails originate from or are traceable back to Nigeria. However, some originate from other nations, mostly also West African nations such as Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Ivory Coast ( Cote D'Ivoire ) etc. It's the current wrinkle of a decades-old scam that nets tens of millions of dollars per year, and may be the third largest industry in Nigeria. The 419 Coalition believes that it is the elites from which successive governments of Nigeria have been drawn who are the scammers. Expect little cooperation from Nigerian authorities. Information in this notice is compiled from various sources, links below. Keep reading for reporting information. The Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax, email, or letter concerning Nigeria containing either a money laundering or other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and Legitimate business proposal by normal means. Invariably, the proposition involves resources which are somehow locked up: oil or other invoice problems, a bequest, money cleaning, or misallocated funds. At some point, the victim is asked to pay up front an Advance Fee of some sort. If the victim pays the Fee, there are many Complications which require still more advance payments until the victim either quits, runs out of money, or both. To report the scam: If you are a United States Citizen or Resident and have suffered NO Financial Loss, write No Financial Loss - For Your Database on the documents you received and Fax them to the US Secret Service Task Force handling Scam matters at 202-406-6930. Documents may be emailed to mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]: No Loss -- 419 Scam IF you are a United States Citizen or Resident and YOU HAVE SUFFERED A FINANCIAL LOSS write Financial Loss - Contact Me ASAP on the documents you have received and Fax them to the Task Force at 202-406-6930 and give Your telephone number(s).
