419 Scams in Africa

   419, the black face of the African Internet

Called "Nigerian scam", this scam is experiencing sunny days through the network of networks. It is particularly effective as the victim is not aware of the risk run. That is understandable since he is proposed to be offered a huge amount of money going from hundreds of dollars to even millions.This scam has been known for years. The same message type first appeared in letters written by hands at first,then by machines,through faxes and now using e-mails. The scam is usually localised in Nigeria where it is called "419 fraud" (section number of the criminal code of Nigeria that deals with this fraud). However, this type of mail does not come only from Nigeria but also from Congo, Burkina Faso, Ghana, South Africa.Note that It is difficult to identify the true country of origin of the message as the  issuers use webmails (e.g . Net or. Com).

Despite its variations, the scenario of these scams remains the same. If you’ve gotten your address (e-mail for example) stolen, you may one day receive a pseudo-official email in which the caller solicits your services.

Websites like stop-scammers help avoid being tricked by informing you, giving advice and examples of email scams in order to  help you overcome this very unpleasant impasse that is  often of serious consequences.

On the Net,we often see fake lotteries abound.The  gains, presentations and speeches may vary. To be credible, some have not hesitated to use the logos of the world famous companies like City bank or Microsoft, use fake signatures, false stamps, insert pictures of their leaders (e.g. Bill Gates), etc.. By disseminating such bulk messages to email random addresses or downloaded from Internet, the "organizers" of these lotteries have only one objective: be the first and only winners.

Do not dream! This kind of message is a gigantic and dangerous scam. For behind these names are hidden loan scammers who only intend to drain your bank account.

Are you wondering how that happens? If you show a modicum of interest in “their thing”, they offer you...
