Book Description
The various forms of "Advance Fee Fraud" make up a five-billion-US-dollar (1996 figures, now much more) worldwide scam, which has run since the early 1980s under successive governments of Nigeria. It is generally referred to as "419 Fraud" (Four-One-Nine) or "The Nigerian Connection." This book describes the problem, its origins, extent and various permutations. I have drawn on my own experiences of being defrauded by "419 scammers", as well as those of other such victims. Hopefully it will prevent others from becoming embroiled in these scams. The Advance Fee Fraud is perpetrated by enticing the victim with a bogus "business" proposal which promises millions of US dollars as a reward. Most of these scams involve requests to help move large sums of money from one part of the world to another, with the promise of a substantial share of the cash in return.

Book Description
For three decades, offers to "get-rich-quick" from West African fraudsters have arrived in New York City harbor by the container load. The offers consist of a plan to transfer percentages of ill-gotten funds, frozen in the country's banks to a willing assistant. More recently, these advance fee fraud schemes have clogged the computer inboxes of individuals around the world. Not everyone recognizes the con for what it is and takes efforts to delete the message or shred the $10,000 check which arrives at their door. Instead, they join thousands of people who have transferred billions of dollars to organized Nigerian criminals. But, why are victims so gullible? They frequently say, "I knew it was too good to be true; but I fell victim anyway." To answer the question about the reason for the success of advance fee fraud schemes, the researcher explored the variety of schemes and conducted a survey of individuals in order to understand the regular exposure to these frauds. The findings provide a deeper understanding for this fraud's success rate. Part of the research involved a survey of 50 individuals. The survey produced much information about how and why people become victims. The researcher was not surprised to find that two individuals from the 50 were scam victims. Among the many similar responses between these victims, they were unemployed and spent many hours per week online; which of course allows them to be more exposed to attempts and variations of this scam. Other vital information was learned and will be discussed in the pages that follow.

Book Description
The "419" scam is an aspect of transnational financial crime with a 'modus operandi' peculiar to the Nigerian swindler. The most recurrent type of transnational "419" scam is the "advance fee fraud". It is usually introduced in the form of a business contract, a transfer of stolen money or money from over-invoiced contract, the purchase of crude oil from Nigeria at a relatively cheap rate, and transfer of money left by a deceased person (will scam). In all situations, the victim is eventually lured into an endless period of advance fee payment. The "black money" scam is almost as popular as the advance fee fraud and is sometimes, practiced in continuation of advance fee scam. The victim is introduced to a large sum of money that needs to be cleaned by a special liquid solution. The victim parts with money upon the supposition that the black money would be cleaned and given to him. The con man gets away with the victim's money leaving him with a bunch of worthless papers. The 419 Scam business is not restricted to defrauding foreigners. There are two groups of con men in Nigeria: The local and the International "419ners". The local groups specialize in defrauding Nigerians while the more advanced International syndicates fish out victims from Europe, America, Asia and South Africa. The local ones eventually grow to international status after they have made enough money to acquire computers, facsimile and telephone lines and other gadgets necessary for the scam business. "Tive's insight of the perpetrators behind the advance fee fraud coupled with his knowledge on the topic show that he is a true authority on the subject."- Ralph A. Gonzales, Special Agent-in-Charge, United States Secret Service "This book by Charles Tive is an excellent portrayal of the 419 scam, its operators, and its basic operations."-Gary M. Gibson, Regional Security Officer, U.S. Consulate Lagos. ".is a scholarly but readable summary of the history of and methods used by Nigerian scam / 419 operations."-The 419 Coalition, USA.

Book Description
This research study addresses the activities of Advance Fee Fraudsters whose activities sometimes impact the status and life of their victims. Research to date appears to have focused on crime, Advance Fee Fraud, and its techniques. The intent of this study is to take the reader through the various types of Advance Fee Fraud (AFF) with special attention to how the victims may get help, an aspect of AFF that has been greatly neglected by previous researchers who mainly focus on the techniques and modus operandi of the fraudsters. Until recently, the concept of AFF was limitedly known, but with the advancement in technology, the concept has become very popular and sophisticated in its techniques. Though a qualitative research model will guide my investigation, I will not be limited in scope by finding useful materials for the study. The reason is that, for a social ill that has so much ravaged the global financial institutions and the finances of governments, corporations, and individuals, no one system will be able to bring to bear what is sought in proffering solutions to the menace. This research will be guided by a theoretical framework consisting of the problem statement, the purpose, the significance, and the research questions. The goal is to determine which types of AFF are more popular and employed, and which of them victims easily fall prey to. This will enable the researcher to access ways of helping the vulnerable citizens, treat, and support those already exposed, prevent revictimization, find how to put in place the required preventive actions, and how justice can be secured for victims of fraud. The data for the study will be obtained through qualitative interviews, and the transcripts of the interview material will be analyzed for emerging themes. It is my hope that the study will be helpful in enabling this research to fill the gap that has been created by previous research, finding help and support for victims.
