Nigerian E-mail Scammers
There is good news for people who are sick of receiving the scam e-mails from Nigeria:
Nigerian court has sentenced a woman to two and half years in jail after she pleaded guilty to fraud charges in the country’s biggest e-mail scam case, the anti-fraud agency said on Saturday.
Amaka Anajemba, one of three suspects in a $242 million fraud involving a Brazilian bank, would return $48.5 million to the bank, hand over $5 million to the government and pay a fine of 2 million naira ($15,000), the agency said.
Scams have become so successful in Nigeria that anti-sleaze campaigners say swindling is one of the country’s main foreign exchange earners after oil, natural gas and cocoa.
Anajemba’s sentencing by a Lagos High Court on Friday is the first major conviction since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) was established in 2003 to crack down on Nigeria’s thriving networks of email fraudsters.
She only got 2 1/2 years for swindling $242 million dollars? I wonder if she had to give the money back at least? Anyway, hopefully this will reduce the amount of scam emails I get every week.
Most Nigerians are black.
Therefore, these "appropriations" of Western cash must be construed as black self-help against terrorism. Is there any difference between USA and British development-aid and these Nigerian self-help programs?
I think not. These socialist redistributions of funds fight against the main cause of terrorism — poverty.
Therefore, to call them scammers is hate-speech.
GI, your military career is in danger if you keep-up these allegations about blacks.
Cry in repentence,… cry and weep.
