Australian Federal Police: Cost of Nigerian Scams
134 out of 139 people in Queensland contacted by Australian Federal Police have fallen for Nigerian Scams. Lottery scams.
They sent a little more than $18 million dollars to Nigeria. That is $135,000 per person.
Accountant, Lawyers, Doctors. Not people you would expect to fall for “get-rich-quick” schemes. I hope their tax, law and medical expertise is scientifically informed!
Keys, email management. Know who is sending you email.
