What is the Nigerian check scam?
by beetree on 15 November 2008 - 01:11
Nigerian Scam Letters, or 419's, appear in email boxes all over the world. They appear on fax machines, and are delivered by the postman. They offer opportunity, adventure, travel, and lots and lots of money.
These popular schemes are called "Nigerian" because that is where they originated, namely in the former capitol city of Lagos. Nowadays there is ample evidence that the scam is being perpetrated by swindlers worldwide. 
419'ers are located in England, Canada, Asia, and throughout Europe and the U.S.
4-1-9: Four-One-Nine is the Nigerian criminal code for a scam that is not only widespread but deadly. One receives an unsolicited email, snail mail, or fax stating that millions of US dollars need to be removed from Nigeria (or some other country, usually in West Africa) and you have been selected by government, banking officials, or surviving relatives to assist.
"But there will be just a few expenses"
"Naturally, you will be amply rewarded for your assistance by retaining a percentage of the funds transferred; however, in order to facilitate the procedure your financial assistance is required up front."
This phrase is couched in other words, soft persuasive words, that impel the victim to begin sending money and gifts (for bribes) that are supposedly needed to release the funds from the fingers of greedy officials.
Victims beaten, killed ...
Sometimes convincing a victim to hand over all his money (or at least an overwhelming portion of his savings) isn't enough - there have been instances of victims who have gone to Africa to meet with the supposed Nigerian officials, only to end up mugged, badly beaten, and even dead. The victim's cash and credit cards are taken (to be sold on the international market), and anything whatsoever of value is ripped from the victim's person.
