The "419" scam is an aspect of transnational financial crime with a 'modus operandi' peculiar to the Nigerian swindler. The most recurrent type of transnational "419" scam is the "advance fee fraud". It is usually introduced in the form of a business contract, a transfer of stolen money or money from over-invoiced contract, the purchase of crude oil from Nigeria at a relatively cheap rate, and transfer of money left by a deceased person (will scam). In all situations, the victim is eventually lured into an endless period of advance fee payment. The "black money" scam is almost as popular as the advance fee fraud and is sometimes, practiced in continuation of advance fee scam. The victim is introduced to a large sum of money that needs to be cleaned by a special liquid solution. The victim parts with money upon the supposition that the black money would be cleaned and given to him. The con man gets away with the victim's money leaving him with a bunch of worthless papers. The 419 Scam business is not restricted to defrauding foreigners. There are two groups of con men in Nigeria: The local and the International "419ners". The local groups specialize in defrauding Nigerians while the more advanced International syndicates fish out victims from Europe, America, Asia and South Africa. The local ones eventually grow to international status after they have made enough money to acquire computers, facsimile and telephone lines and other gadgets necessary for the scam business. "Tive's insight of the perpetrators behind the advance fee fraud coupled with his knowledge on the topic show that he is a true authority on the subject."- Ralph A. Gonzales, Special Agent-in-Charge, United States Secret Service "This book by Charles Tive is an excellent portrayal of the 419 scam, its operators, and its basic operations."-Gary M. Gibson, Regional Security Officer, U.S. Consulate Lagos. ".is a scholarly but readable summary of the history of and methods used by Nigerian scam / 419 operations."-The 419 Coalition, USA.

Ignorance is not bliss. In such cases you have to be one step ahead of all the scamsters who benefit from a credulous public who believe that if banking and financial company officials have written to you about a serious matter, it is serious. They thrive on such threatening and scare tactics, telling you that your account is going to be limited within three days or some such ultimatum.

So apart from showing you ways and means with which you can check these Internet scamsters and credit card identity thieves, this book is going to give you information on how you can protect yourself from future financial losses.

“[A] fascinating, informative, and highly entertaining primer on the various ways the uninitiated may find themselves ripped off by a con artist.” —Publishers Weekly No one thinks it can happen to them, but Americans are forty times more likely to be defrauded than to have their cars stolen or their homes burgled. Con artists ruin people financially and emotionally, leaving in their wake a trail of destruction, broken hearts, and deflated dreams. The first step to combating fraud is to understand it. What do scams look like? Why are they effective? The next step is to take action. How can we protect ourselves and our families? The Con: How Scams Work, Why You’re Vulnerable, and How to Protect Yourself informs and engages with accessible stories of ordinary people from all walks of life thrown into unexpected and disorienting circumstances. The book goes behind the scenes of real-world cons to examine the logistics and psychology that enable scams to succeed. The goal is to help people understand and recognize deception, and in the same way that they avoid other potentially dangerous situations, take a detour. Once readers have gained a clear idea of what scams look and sound like and learned simple strategies to reduce personal risk, protecting themselves will be just as instinctive as putting on a seat belt. “This compelling work goes a long way toward putting distance between scammers and their prey.” —Foreword Reviews “Completely fascinating and insightful.” —Booklist

These days fraudsters operate on a massive scale that was previously unimaginable. Thousands of people from all walks of life are relieved of billions of pounds each year. No-one knows the full scale of fraud because embarrassed victims often fail to report it. Despite all the press coverage, people keep falling for old tricks that often re-emerge in new guises. Scammers are ingenious, utterly ruthless and without conscience. Rodney Hobson, author of the best-selling beginners guide to stock market investing Shares Made Simple, has produced the first definitive guide to scams, categorising the different types, listing tell-tale signs and advising how to spot a fraudster and avoid becoming the next victim. This makes the basic principles behind each type of scam more recognisable and it shows how scams have evolved and re-emerged over time. Danger lurks for those unwary souls who part only too readily with their hard-earned cash and this book will help you be alert to the risks. It is also meant to entertain, as we learn to grudgingly admire as well as despise the ingenious crooks who lurk in the shadows.

The purpose of this book is to describe the latest scams going on the Internet today and how to avoid some of these scams which have been going on for years. The book will consist of the different types of scams, by chapters, examples of scams tried successfully on me and others not successful that still continue on the Internet today. The biggest scammers in the past and still today are Nigerians. Russians and Eastern Europeans are not far behind now, and I will also add South Africans. Nigerians have been scamming since the Internet became worldwide. I think all Nigerians have a PhD in psychology and are the number one in scamming techniques which are done in stages for you to keep sending money. Scamming is part of their culture no matter the educational level. There was a front-page column in the Wall Street Journal about Nigerians scamming about twenty years ago. Once in a while you will see a news report of the Nigerian government raiding computer centers “arresting” scammers, trying to improve their world image, but scanning still goes on today, and Nigeria is listed as one of the most corrupt countries in the world. With the technology in copying and printing, documents that can look “very” official. (Be my legal partner.) Be prepared, once you answer a scam, your e-mail address will be passed around.

Millions of innocent internet users are bombarded daily with scam emails of all sorts originating from Nigeria and Nigerian scammers elsewhere; and a lot many have fallen victims, losing millions of dollars to these faceless scammers in the process. Internet scam, Internet fraud, advance fee fraud, email scams, dating scams, NGO scams, charity scams - whichever name you choose to call it, it is what it is. And in Nigeria it is a thriving industry clandestinely employing millions of young people. The extent and reach of this industry till this publication, has never been fully comprehended or revealed. It is only imagined, speculated upon, and largely underestimated due to the secrecy in which the scam deals are carried out as well as the code of silence - administered and enforced by voodoo priests - that guides and protects its practitioners. Hence, all the age-old questions regarding them still persist: Who exactly are these scammers? Why do they do what they do? How are they recruited? How do they operate? From where do they operate? Are they alone? Do they have godfathers in high places? Is there a governmental connection to it? Is there an unholy link with law enforcement? Is there a connivance with legitimate banks and financial institutions? What of the much talked about collusion of organized religion? Is there a philosophy to 419? How do 419ers they think? And what do they think when they think? What do they believe? How deadly are they? In fact, what exactly is 419? How did it start? Why is it so successful? Various attempts to answer these questions have been, at best a scratching of the surface, which only succeeded in raising more questions than answers. Why? For the simple fact that these works are mainly the products of professional writers, law enforcement agents, foreign investigators and white collar activists, who find it extremely difficult, as a matter of fact impossible, to penetrate the secrecy of scam deals or crack that code of silence that guides these fraudsters. The need therefore arises for an insider story, detailed, authoritative, first-hand and uncut, a tell-all, by someone who has been there, seen it all and done it. And that is exactly what you get in these pages. In this superlative revelation of a story based on real events, Lucas takes us on a guided tour of the Nigerian internet scam industry as no one had ever done before. It's a personal story. From how he entered the syndicate to his last day as a scammer. From all that he saw and all that he heard, to all the background information and analysis, as well as all the various thought provoking point of views that prevails among the scammers and also the human angle to the drama. It is tour worth taking. Come along.

SCAM STORY is a dazzling novel about passion and fraud and a woman taking charge of her own life. Based on a true story, it contains authentic mails and text messages.

But it is a dangerous game. Who is she dealing with? “Nelly does not yet know that she has taken the first step on a journey that will change her life and relentlessly open up borders that she thought were impenetrable.” “… on shaking legs she goes out to meet him. Her heart beats irregularly, she has sweaty palms, shallow breathing and it is hard to stop her shaking legs. Her feet are barely touching the floor, it is as if she is floating. She passes through the corridor and customs and towards the doors that will lead to the arrival hall. The doors are opened and her heart stops beating; she is holding her breath and looks around…” For more information about the novel and the authors: http://scamstoryint.webs.com
