Six
Arrested Over Nigerian E-mail Fraud
ZDNet News - May 21, 2002
Six arrested over 'Nigerian e-mail' fraud
The "Nigerian e-mail" scam is over ten years old and has
possibly cost the victims hundreds of millions of dollars. There's
no way to tell, really, because many people are too embarrased to
call the authorities once they realize they've been had. Read
a typical e-mail and see if you'd fall for their tactics. I received
one of these emails last week, so it's clear this scam is still going
on.
Anyway...
It looks like part of this ring of scam artists and drug dealers have
been caught in South Africa by local police and detectives from the
UK's Scotland Yard. Hopefully they can lock these boys up and keep
them away from computers and fax machines for a few years.
