>The "Nigerian Scam"
>
>Strategic intelligence has identified that West African organized crime
>groups have for many years conducted a type of fraud against individuals
and
>companies commonly known as "advance fee". It is also known as the 4-1-9
>fraud after the penal code in Nigeria that makes it illegal. These groups
>also carry out highly organized housing, social security and other grants
>frauds. The profits from these crimes are often used to finance drug
>trafficking, where the same middlemen transport drugs from source to
>consumer countries.
>
>'419' letters are distributed by postal mail, by facsimile (fax), and
>primarily in recent months through e-mail channels. In a typical '419'
>(advance fee fraud) letter, the author purports to be a senior government
or
>central bank official who has managed to over-inflate a contract,
generating
>a personal profit. In return for help in smuggling the money out of the
>country, the recipient is offered a percentage, usually between 10% and
30%.
>At first no money may be requested but once a victim has been drawn in,
>requests are made for funds to pay legal and administrative fees. Victims
>have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in some cases.

>These e-mail letters have been received in increasing numbers at MSFC in
>recent months. If you receive a '419' letter at MSFC either in hard-copy
or

for
