African Bogus Email Scheme - 419 Fraud/Scam


NOTES: In March of 2000, We received a suspicious email from a party supposedly in Nigeria, suggesting a questionable scheme: Namely, the transferrence of government funds. We reported it to the International Web Police, as you can see from the following correspondence.

Please Note: In addition to filing a *report with the International Web Police {defunct as of 2014) also forward the offending correspondence to the miscreant's email provider [include FULL headers]. Most email servers have an abuse reporting service. Simply address e.g. abuse@hotmail.com -or- abuse@yahoo.com etc etc.

*Please note: The International Web police no longer offers the service described above. Please report any crime to your local police force.

During these times [june 2002] the perpetrators of these scams are [or should be] considered to be a threat to International Security. As we may see from the recent news report featured on the Daily Post article below; that the the morale, of members of our Commonwealth Forces serving on United Nations Peace-keeping duties in East Timor, has been directly affected, by this cancerous scheme; which is made even more repugnant, when one considers the resultant bad reputation for the African continent; which is ill-afforded at the present time.

Please watch this documentary video (below) for a detailed explanation of the 419 Scam:
