BBC is reporting that "a Nigerian has been jailed for his part in a huge international e-mail fraud. Peter Okoeguale, 33, was jailed for 20 months for his part in the e-mail fraud, also known as the Nigerian 419 scam. Caernarfon Crown Court heard victims are promised a share of cash if they help with the movement of millions of dollars out of Africa. But they are then duped into handing over cash themselves to overcome an unforeseen difficulty." I am sure all of you have gotten one of these Nigerian scam emails, if you haven't then you probably don't have an email address ;-). Of course, this one arrest does not mean that this kind of scam spam will stop. It has already morphed into the Iraq general, Indonesian dictator and Albanian minister scam. But I still feel that this is good news.
