Advance Fraud, Nigerian scams.If you are reading this page you probably have been scammed by West African organized crime groups. It is estimated that West African scams cost the UK at least £3.5 billion a year. The most common type of fraud is 'advance fee'. known as 4-1-9 fraud after the penal code in Nigeria that makes it illegal. The profits earned from these crimes are often used to finance drug trafficking and arms. '419' Letters are distributed by post, fax but most commonly email. In a typical '419' (advanced fee fraud) letter, the author introduces themselves as a senior government, or an high profile family member or senior central bank official. In return for your help to smuggle the money out of the country, you will be offered a percentage, usually between 10% and 30%. No money will be requested from you at first and once you have been drawn in, requests are made from you to assist in covering legal, administrative, shipping, storage costs etc. In most first contact letters they mention that 70% is for them 25% for you and 5% for expenses incurred by both parties during the transaction. The costs of these scams are now having a significant impact on the economy of industrialized countries all over the world. The buttons on the left will show you typical examples of first contact, fake documentation and our service fee's for recoveries of stolen money.
