AlanHo Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Nigeria scams cost the UK billions. You would think that by now, after all the publicity, people would not be so gullible.BBC Report Here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Greed and the thought of a fast buck (or £ or € or ¥) makes any sign of common sense depart from some people.I think I've written this before but, a long time ago (before the Internet - this was done by Telex) I knew someone who was caught up in this. He was a qualified accountant, director and company secretary. He used the company's information to furnish the details to the scammers. He's out of jail now (it was a long time ago) but unable to obtain any position of trust, he does gardening and odd jobs to keep himself alive.
