The worldwide Nigerian 419 e-mail scam still nets hundreds of millions
of dollars each year in the US alone.


If you get a 419 then the fraud squad are always pleased to receive a
copy, complete with all email headers. Their email address is:


Not *all* e-mails. Their website (thanks for the link BTW) states,

"Unless your letter/e-mail contains details of the fraudsters bank
accounts/addresses/telephone numbers please do not forward them to us."



It is also worth reading their web site on the 419's, basically if you
get involved it can result in you finding out how hard a baseball bat
is as it dings off your head, and people have been murdered by trying
to meet these people:
