Why are there all these big dollar hoaxes coming out of Africa??


If you'll check the headers very few of them actually come from
Africa.


If you think they are pranksters, you would be wrong! The scheme is an
interesting
one, and it is definitely making alot of money for some n'ere-do-wells.


Oh yeah? I know how the scam is *supposed* to work. Can you name one
victim of this particular scam? (Well, there's always one) And what
does it have to do with Africa which was the original question? There's
a website out there where some guy has dogged a few of the "Nigerians"
and it makes for fun reading. I've dogged a few of them too. None of
them have been in Africa.

Sure, there are phishers out there. They catch more people logging into
phony PayPal "re-register your account" than they do with the Prince
Ngdbulasaski scams. And they snag more than a few with people simply
going to the fake login pages and winding up with keystroke trojans.

Chuck, I think you give them (the so-called Nigerian letters) more
credit than they are due in the world of internet scamming.
