\r\nThe above is an example of the "Nigerian Scam", also called 419 Letters,\r\nor just plain 419.  Most 419 letters and emails originate from or are\r\ntraceable back to Nigeria. However, some originate from other nations,\r\nmostly also West African nations such as Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Sierra\r\nLeone, Ivory Coast ( Cote D'Ivoire ) etc.   \r\n\r\nIt's the current wrinkle of a decades-old scam that nets tens of\r\nmillions of dollars per year, and may be the third largest industry in\r\nNigeria.  The 419 Coalition believes that it is the elites from which\r\nsuccessive governments of Nigeria have been drawn who are the scammers.\r\nExpect little cooperation from Nigerian authorities.\r\n\r\nInformation in this notice is compiled from various sources, links\r\nbelow.  Keep reading for reporting information.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Scam operates as follows: the target receives an unsolicited fax,\r\nemail, or letter concerning Nigeria containing either a money laundering\r\nor other illegal proposal OR you may receive a Legal and Legitimate\r\nbusiness proposal by normal means.  Invariably, the proposition involves\r\nresources which are somehow locked up:  oil or other invoice problems, a\r\nbequest, money cleaning, or misallocated funds.\r\n\r\nAt some point, the victim is asked to pay up front an Advance Fee of\r\nsome sort.  If the victim pays the Fee, there are many "Complications"\r\nwhich require still more advance payments until the victim either quits,\r\nruns out of money, or both. \r\n\r\n\r\nTo report the scam:\r\n\r\n    If you are a United States Citizen or Resident and have suffered NO\r\n    Financial Loss, write "No Financial Loss - For Your Database" on the\r\n    documents you received and Fax them to the US Secret Service Task\r\n    Force handling Scam matters at 202-406-6930.\r\n\r\n    Documents may be emailed to \r\n    \r\n        [link|mailto:419.fcd@usss.treas.gov?subject:No Loss -- 419 Scam|mailto:419.fcd@usss.treas.gov?subject:No Loss -- 419 Scam]\r\n\r\n    IF you are a United States Citizen or Resident and YOU HAVE SUFFERED\r\n    A FINANCIAL LOSS write "Financial Loss - Contact Me ASAP" on the\r\n    documents you have received and Fax them to the Task Force at\r\n    202-406-6930 and give Your telephone number(s).
