Nigerian Bank Email Scammers Busted?

[Doggiedog]

Finally. I was getting sick of sending those guys my bank account numbers.

there are cases where U.S. victims have lost hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Insert PT Barnum quote here.

lol.. we get 1 of those about every three hours at work... I'm still wondering what kind of person gets fooled by all this

That's odd. I've made millions off of this Hot Deal.

Thank you for that URL!

I just forwarded it to my bank's Vice President of Operations and it'll probably be forwarded to the rest of my group.

This is AWESOME news for those of us involved in International Investigations.

I would not assume that this was the only group running this scam.

I'm glad that these guys were busted, but I don't think this scam is over.

there was a story over at bbc news a couple of weeks ago saying that nigeria's whole booming internet cafe industry is being supported by this stuff - had a quote from some policeman saying that everyone and his dog was giving it a go.
So, no, one group being arrested is definately not going to stop it. But hearing about it still does feel good...
