An interview with a Nigerian Spammer

Link
This is reported to be the transcript of a three part conversation with one of these famous Nigerian spam scammers. It’s a fantastic read, especially if you haven’t read about fraud and how it works in detail before; the link to parts two and three are at the bottom of the pages one and two.

If you’re trying to educate your users about what happens, this link has heaps of information on it, outlining the history of the various scams back to 2004, what the emails look like and some real life stories from people who were scammed by various fraud organizations in Nigeria.
