 A lengthy explanation of the "Nigerian 419 scam," named after a section of Nigerian penal law.

This 1997 report from the U.S. State Department (as a 33-page PDF document, it may take some time to load) provides examples of materials used in the scam and explains how it works and the connections between AFF and kidnapping, drug trafficking, and murder. http://www.state.gov/www/regions/africa/naffpub.pdf Topics: Corruption & Fraud Last updated Dec 20, 2001 |
