419 Scams: Also known as ?Nigerian? scams ? fact is this is happening all
over the world, not just originating in Nigeria. The ?419? refers to the code
the Nigerian government established to make this practice illegal. These scams
come in many forms, but the general idea is the scammer needs to move a large
amount of money because otherwise they could lose it. There is typically a
threat of loss and the potential for enormous gain. The hook, as always, is
greed. Your desire to profit for little or no effort is the key. Once locked
in, with the carrot dangling (usually millions of dollars), they will extort
you of thousands by asking to pay for court fees, or a bank release,
authorization fees, etc.Fred Oboko, George Ubmbuka, or whatever the name of
the latest Nigerian Securities and Fuel Efficiencies Committee is not in exile
and attempting to transfer a large sum of money out of the country. They do
not need your help in transferring the money; they want to s
cam you
out of yours
