Nigerian email scam broken up / Madrid / October 3, 2002
Police have smashed a Nigerian-led scam that reaped up to ?20 million
($A36.15 million) by duping Internet chat enthusiasts and other victims
into paying seed money for access to safety deposit boxes supposedly full
of dollars, the government said yesterday.
Spanish police arrested five Nigerians, a British man, a Spanish woman
and a minor whose nationality was not disclosed, the Civil Guard said.
Most of the 300-plus victims lived in the United States, Germany,
Australia or France.
Members of the gang picked targets in Internet chat rooms, email
exchanges and sometimes just by opening telephone books at random,
officials said.
