Having lived in Africa, I'm dead sure that most of these cats are operating in either the UK or France. Their connections are unreliable and they are just plain disorganized and chaotic. By nature.

anyone who falls for these is a genuine fucking moron, its a shock they were able to earn that money to throw away in the first place.

we get nigerians calling every day using fake credit cards to try and buy our stuff... you can always tell theyre scammers because:
* they sound nigerian
* they use a different delivery address to the card holders address
* they always give instruction to 'call 10 mins before the van arrives so i can be there to collect'in the past 12 months weve caught 99% of this and we even use services like 192.com to try and find the cardholders phone number to tell them their cards been stolen.
its a shame the police dont do anything about it as this kind of crime would be easy to shut down using a sting operation i.e. when the fan turns up out jump the police.... but theyre just not interested.
- they don't stop it because it's extremely profitable for bringing money into their country.lambsy

Okpako "Mike" Diamreyan spend ten years using a single Yahoo e-mail address to scam people into sending him money.
Spreadsheet here http://www.scribd.com/doc/302936… shows the amounts he was able to scam people for (only the ones the gov has been able to find out about). Seems like he made out pretty well.
