In Nigeria, conducted a raid on scammers (closed 800 mailing addresses)
Email fraud is the hallmark of Nigeria. This twin country of Russia is known on the Web for its refined and thoughtful scams consisting of multi-pass combinations, months-long correspondence with the victim, organizing communication with agents in several countries around the world, personal meetings, etc. Scammers make billions of dollars in this way. Even Harvard professors are not immune to "divorce." The number of deceived victims in Russia alone is about a thousand people a year. These are businessmen, large firms, private investors.
The other day in Nigeria had a large raid (details here and here ). The authorities used some kind of “intellectual technology” of Microsoft and used the help of Microsoft specialists to calculate the owners of more than 800 postal addresses. As a result, members of 18 criminal gangs were arrested.
The scheme in general form looks like this: you receive a letter, for example, on behalf of Chichvarkin, the former director of the Euroset company. He needs your help to transfer money from his secret account, because he himself is now on the run abroad and cannot do it at all (he will be immediately arrested in Russia). They need your help to transfer money. For your service, they promise you from 10% to 40%. You are also given a phone number or email address to contact your local Chichvarkin representative (a Nigerian by nationality).
This is not the first case of mass arrests. In March, the Spanish police arrested 25 people (mostly Nigerians), who acted as agents of the Nigerian schemes in this country and spread money for more than 150 people in the United States and Europe.

Perhaps, on the scale of frauds, only the Russian mafia can be compared to Nigeria, which “sells brides” (lures money from foreigners “for flowers”, “for tickets”, “for visas”, etc.), now it has also become a multimillion business. But for some reason no one thinks their sites should be closed.
