What is the Nigerian Internet Scam ?
Simple, you receive an unsolicited e-mail offering you a percentage of the proceeds of a plan to remove riches (money, diamonds, gold) from a third-world country. All you have to do is supply your bank details or deliver some cash to “facilitate” the deal and you will get a percentage for your help. It doesn’t have to come from Nigeria and is sometimes called the 419 scam because of an American penal code.
