Pesky Spam emails!
We all get those pesky spam emails promising us millions of dollar, from a Bank Manager, a Lawyer, a Doctor, a Wife etc etc. The spammer asks for your assistance to help transfer secretly deposited funds from out of their country for which you will receive a bucket load of money.
Believe it or not, people are sucked in by these dangerous criminals every day. These scamming spammers have been guilty of fraud, theft, assault, kidnapping for ransom, rape and even murder! These criminals are known as 419ers, or Nigerian Advance Fee Fraudsters as the crime originated in the 1940's in Nigeria.
Worldwide, 419ers milk upwards of $5 billion dollars annually from their unsuspecting, albeit greedy, victims (in the 419ers derogatory terms, a “Mugu”). The latest scam to hit my spam-trap, disgustingly uses the Tsunami victims in an effort to milk money.
Mugu.Info is my small way of fighting back. I aim to provide a repository of useful information, such as law enforcement contacts, a lexicology, links, as well as my anti-scams to educate and entertain the wider community.
Please visit Mugu.Info and let me know what you think.
