I just browsed briefly through it but I think this is well written and researched and gives a solid overview about the topic. Interesting and comprehensive summary for both newbs and oldtimers.

This is very enlightening and answers a lot of often-asked questions about the structure of 419 crime.
I think this should be a 'must read' for all 419eaters and they should have to pass an exam in it before baiting.  |

There's a few things in that article that put Nigerian fraud in perspective.
For example:-
| Quote: |
| On a single day check at Heathrow airport last year, for example, police discovered more than �20 million of forged cheques and postal orders in the courier mail from Lagos. |

It's a good read for sure.
I actually brought this up in November last year: http://forum.419eater.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=93366
Probably got forgotten in the panic of the site being down for the two previous days at the time |
