Stay away from the 419 scam

The 419 scam is so called because it refers to the "Nigerian Criminal Code" that prohibits cheating and dealing with fraud in Nigeria and other countries in Africa that promises a large amount of money such as a lottery prize, inheritance, money sitting from a bank account etc. 

Most people receive emails from people claiming to be bankers and how they have money to give to you. They claim to know you however they really don't know you at all.

Sufferers of email scams never receive this money. Many are even tricked into sending their money to the criminals, who remain largely unknown. They hide their real identity and location by using made up names and postal addresses.

Many people scam bait these criminal scamsters. But remember they are criminals and if they had their way they will take all your money and even murder you. Under no circumstances reveal your real name, phone number or address.
