Overview

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.
