Advance fee fraud a.k.a 419 has metamorphosed with the increasing popularity of internet access in Nigeria and it's now popularly known as Yahoo!Yahoo!

This blog is by no means taking sides with the victims nor the perpetrators of these scams as i still think both are fraudulent minded people. The Fraudster go in search of a like-minds who gets burnt out of greed. Here i will publish scam letters emanating from a few Nigerians who have chosen this way of life and this will help show the world that while fraudster tries to dupe, the other is only a victim because a similar mindset as the initiator.
That people still fall for these old tricks show us how naive and greedy people can be.

After reading through this, i suspect it is a check fraud, where an innocent person will be sent to banks to cash forged checks. The dangerous part here is that, the victim who walks into the banks never knows it is fraud.
