I have a nigerian colleaugue with me here and i just talked about this with him.. he said since June last year Nigeria has implemented death penalty for scamsters caught! and there have actually been cases where scamsters have faced the firing squad for perpetrating such scams! solid action i must say.. hope it has the desired effect..

Unfortunately, I believe it will not make any difference. That is a lawless country. When the society doesnt have any senese of ethics and the system is corrupt, there is very little the govt. can do. The problem is that a wast majority of that country are criminals.
I am sorry of that sounds rasist, but i am speaking form my personal experince. My fiend nearly became avictim of another nigerian fraud. This is widespread to unimaginable proportion.

how do you know the scamsters 'have' faced the firing squad?! from your nigerian colleague? beware of this 'colleague' for your own self. and sift net for the latest news about nigeria and not rely on a nigerian.

I think ur nigerian friend is dogging, He should know everything, his gov will be happy bercause anyhave thru scam the money comes to their country. Second how the gov will find the person operating the scam . Even if he is caught he will bribe, or he will escape telling that he knows the person personnaly. U see one article below a fool from US by name Menon has lost US $ 40,000 and he is now screaming. Tell ur friend that not all Indians are idiots.
