2. Nigerian scam continues to thrive (MSNBC)
Two new flavors of the age-old Nigerian e-mail scam are making the
rounds, and at least one of them appears to be gaining traction.
Hundreds of victims have recently fallen for a variation that plays
upon people¹s misunderstanding about how bank cashier¹s checks work.
Meanwhile, other scammers are trying to take advantage of heightened
interest in Iraq, posing as frightened Iraqis trying to move money out
of that country before hostilities begin. The scam also took a deadly
turn last month, when a victim in the Czech Republic allegedly shot
and killed a Nigerian diplomat after losing his life savings to the
scam.
