Information solicited?

Question

So many people are getting fraud mails from Nigeria. Is there any organisation or anything like interpol to control the frauders and prevent the innocents?

Answer 1

Yes you can report them to anti-span and anti-phishing agencies just do a search on google and you will get the sites.

Answer 2

The problems of Internet fraud from Nigeria, and many other countries, is so pervasive, is simply cannot be controlled short of shutting down the Internet.  It is up to the individual to not fall for ridiculous get-rich-quick schemes.

Answer 3

The fraudsters are not only IN Nigeria.  There are a lot of innocents arriving in this country to collect their 'lottery winnings'.  They check out the information, speak on the phone and receive confirmation information of hotel bookings etc.  When they arrive it is of course all fabricated and the hotel is only a booking without any payment.

These people are usually from small communities/small islands etc and not sophisticated.  They have passed over some personal information during the process.

Sad, sad, sad.

Answer 4

Interpol must curb the widespread fraud being perpetrated in Nigeria especially those that encroached into the internet.
