Nigerian 419 Scams

A scam that comes in many different forms and has been around for years is known as the Nigerian 419 Scam. This scam takes on many different variations but is always done to get money from the victim. It usually comes in some type of mail form (email or letter) where the person is trying to get your assistance removing large sums of money out of the country where the letter originates after some sort of family death or tragedy. The person contacting you will put you in contact with some sort of government or banking official who will provide you with the info you need to assist them in transferring the large sum of money. For assisting them they will provide you with a certain percentage of the money. All they require is some banking information from you and then some “bribe” money to bribe custom officials. WRONG!
