Named for the law in Nigeria to outlaw the scam. This particular fraud was perfected in Nigeria. It predates the internet, but it gained momentum with it. Lots of people still fall for it - and the people who do it are often very dangerous. The scam now operates out of many other countries, most notably Cote d'Ivoire, South Africa - even Czech Rep. and Israel. Often times the mail is forwarded out of 3rd countries to mask the place of the scammers (often re-forwarded out of Israel and Italy). There is a huge group of these guys in Amsterdam (usually Nigerians) who get people to come to the Netherlands, and play this game with them.
Many people are killed by these scammers - or kidnapped. Mostly the scammers get "up front" money to "release the funds" that are usually (supposedly) "trapped" in some Central Bank, or private-bank account, or "whatever".
This is why it is called an "advance fee fraud" scam. You can google and find lots of info about it. The US Secret Service has a huge site on it, with information on how to report it to various authorities - and you should report it to the US Govt, because many of the emails go through U.S.-based computer servers, making it a U.S.-based fraud.
The US website is here: http://home.rica.net/alphae/419coal/
Sometimes real government officials get into this scam - so the papers they send can seem real.
AND: reporting this scam doesn't cause you any harm. This is important to know.
The President of Nigeria has been repeatedly asked to stop the Nigerian-based operation of this scam. He's gone back and forth on it. And the scammers have gone international.
Two years ago, a Norwegian millionaire, Kjetil Moe, was murdered when he got caught in a 419 scam. So this stuff is really serious.
Delete the email and keep this trash out of your life.

The majority of victims travelling to meet offenders will, hopefully, walk away unharmed physically, returning to their own country eventually, suffering only financial harm.
Below we give a few examples that we have knowledge of, where individuals have not been so lucky when meeting Advance Fee Fraud offenders:
1995
During 1995 the United States Secret Service assigned agents to Lagos, Nigeria, for the purpose of locating and rescuing victims of Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Fraud offenders.
In this year seven (7) victims were extricated, and another was found murdered.
1999
In June 1999 Jean Pierre Li Shing Tat, a Canadian national from Mauritius, was, tragically, found alongside a road outside Johannesburg, South Africa. He was found bound and shot twice in the head. His family had earlier received a ransom note demanding US$200 000 after he travelled to meet his ‘business partner’ in a 419 scam.
During September 1999, Norwegian millionaire, Kjetil Moc, was kidnapped and found murdered in South Africa after travelling to meet offenders in a 419 scam. The victim was 65 years of age when murdered.
Danut Mircea Tetrescu was kidnapped during November 1999 and held for ransom in Soweto, outside Johannesburg. Police intervened and saved the victim, which led to the arrest of seven (7) offenders.
1999 also saw the kidnapping of Kensuke Matsumoto, a Japanese national, who travelled to South Africa to meet offenders of a 419 scam. This victim escaped with his life when he managed to flee from his captors in Durban.
Also in 1999, five more individuals were kidnapped and held for ransom. After ransom was paid by family members of four (4) victims they were released. The fifth victim was freed by police.
2001
During July 2001 a former deputy mayor of Northampton travelled to South Africa after being lured into a Nigerian 419 scam. Upon arrival he was kidnapped and held for ransom.
2004
During 2004 a victim of a Nigerian 419 scam was requested to travel to Saudi Arabia to meet the individuals he was ‘assisting’ in a fake financial deal. Upon his arrival he was kidnapped, assaulted and robbed of the money he brought along. He was tied up and left in a hotel room, whereupon the two offenders fled. The victim managed to free himself and, after notifying authorities, the two offenders were apprehended.
During December 2004 a Cypriot victim, George Macromallis, travelled to South Africa for a second time to meet offenders in a Nigerian 419 scam. Upon meeting them he was kidnapped. After co-operation with informers of 419Legal, the victim was traced to Durban where police discovered his dead body. His family had received a notice to pay ransom. Despite that, the offenders had assaulted the victim, broken his arms and legs and set him alight before he died.
2005
Early in 2005 a Brazilian victim was lured to South Africa in a Nigerian 419 scam. Upon arrival the victim was taken to a quiet area where offenders assaulted him. He was robbed of all his money and left on a roadside. Terrified, the victim returned to his country without laying formal charges.
From the few recorded items above it is clear that offenders of Advance Fee Fraud pose a great risk to victims they are defrauding. Although the majority of fraudsters tend not to be violent, the risk of falling victim to violence, when meeting fraudsters, is very real.

Usually there is a team of people writing these things.
There is even a cottage industry of scamming the scammers, whereby they try to get the scammers to do embarassing things, (take pictures, etc) or to send THEM money. It has actually worked - getting a few hundred bucks out of these people. Which is pretty fair, considering that they want to steal your entire savings, and more.
Lots of people - financial manager and accountants, have taken their lives after using money that wasn't their's for this kind of scam, and realizing that they'd defrauded clients or family - indirectly - by "borrowing" money that wasn't their's to participate in the quick-rich scheme/scam.

...and we posted an announcement on the 'News from Site Admin' forum to warn all other members.
We had several of these SCAM attempts lately on GoL, and we do our best to identify them BEFORE they get into the community, and block them asap if they get in.
Thanks for letting us know if you get more of these mails.
