Antradienį Amsterdame ir Zaadame Vokietijos policija suėmė dvylika Nigerijos piliečių, kurie įtariami sukčiavimo trikampio organizavimu.
Šie žmonės yra siejami su elektroniniu paštu platinamais sukčiavimo laiškais (angl. email scam). Žmonės, gavę šiuos laiškus, raginami investuoti į netikras verslo schemas. Informaciniame pranešime yra teigiama, kad tokiu būdu daugiausiai nukentėjo Jungtinių Tautų piliečiai, patyrę apie du milijonus dolerių nuostolingų investicijų.
Reidų metu, Vokietijos policija areštavo kompiuterius, suklastotus kelionių dokumentus ir apie 30 000 dolerių.
Grupuotė vadinama „419 frauds“ plagijavo visas internete naudojamų finansinių trazakcijų dokumentų rūšis, todėl šis įvykis turėtų būti aiškus įspėjimas veliantis į „netikėtų“ pasiūlymų verslą.
Apačioje pateikiame pavyzdinį elektronio pašto lašką:

Dear Sir,
ASSISTANCE REQUIRED FOR ACQUISITION OF ESTATE
I write to inform you of my desire to acquire estates or landed
properties in
your country on behalf of the Director of Contracts and
Finance Allocations of the Federal Ministry of
Works and Housing in Nigeria.
Considering his very strategic and influential position,
he would want the
transaction to be as strictly confidential as possible.
He further wants his
identity to remain undisclosed at least for now,
until the completion of the transaction.
Hence our desire to have an overseas agent.
I have therefore been directed to inquire if you would agree to act
as our
overseas agent in order
to actualize this transaction.
The deal, in brief, is that the funds with which we intend to carry out our
proposed investments in your country is presently in a coded account
at the Nigerian Apex Bank (i.e. the Central Bank of Nigeria) and
we need your assistance to transfer the funds to your country
in a convenient bank account that will be
provided by you before we can put the funds into use in your country.
For this, you shall be considered to have executed
a contract for the Federal Ministry of Works
and Housing in Nigeria for which payment
should be effected to you by the Ministry,
The contract sum of which shall run into US$26.4 Million, of which your
share shall be 30% if you agree to be our overseas agent.
As soon as payment is effected, and the amount mentioned above is
successfully transferred into your account, we intend to use our own
share in acquiring some estates abroad.
For this too you shall also serve as our agent.
In the light of this, I would like you to forward to me
the following information:
1. Your company name and address if any
2. Your personal fax number
3. Your personal telephone number for easy communication.
You are requested to communicate your acceptance of this proposal
through my above stated email address after which we shall
discuss in details the modalities for seeing this transaction through.
Your quick response will be highly appreciated.
Thank you in anticipation of your cooperation.
Yours faithfully,
BIBI LUCKY.
