About this product:
If America can be called the land of the scam, then international con artists from Nigeria are hard at work trying to catch up. Although their pitches appear flagrantly false, they take advantage of several weaknesses in human nature like pity for the poor and also an arrogance that no Nigerian could pull one over on a sophisticated American. This new book presents representative and genuine examples of the initial scam approaches, which seem to be rousing victims from the millions of targets of this vast campaign that has been going on for years while gaining in sophistication and cunning. The cases are divided into sections by type and target of the scam.

BOOK
419 Scam: Exploits of the Nigerian Con Man
Charles Tive
$11.92

About this product:
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.
