I bet you have received this kind of email spam also known as the Nigerian 419 Fraud, if you didn’t receive it yet you are a lucky person. Anyway, read the wikipedia entry about Nigerian 419 if you are interested to know more about it.
Basically this is how the scam works:
A wealthy foreigner who needs help moving millions of dollars from his homeland promises a hefty percentage of this fortune as a reward for assisting him.
In the end you just waste money and the promises of receiving part of those millions of dollars are lies of course.
To put an end to this crazy madness scam that is very popular in Nigeria the authorities decided do some action, and what you can see in this video is the scammers being busted by the police on an internet cafe.
In the end there are rocks being thrown at the cops and shots being fired, so watch it and enjoy.
Around the 3minutes and 15seconds mark on the video, they show the police confiscating the material used by the scammers on the web cafe, what amazes me is that they confiscate monitors instead of computers only which are the only devices that contain important data. Yes, that is how Africa works…
