The Nigerian Fraud Conspiracy: Finding U.S. co-conspirators

Investigative journalist Sinclair chronicles two similar Nigerian fraud attempts upon his client one of which uncovered two companies here in the United States suspected of being complicit in one of the schemes.

His report leads to a meeting with the FBI about one of them, and a surprising end to the second attempt, several years later.

This book should be required reading for any person who has ever received one of those popular spam 'too-good-to-be-true' offers from persons claiming to be associated with a foreign ministry, army officers overseas, lottery officials, buyers of anything you have for sale (in large quantities - with price being no object), banks or PayPal notifying you that your account has been suspended, the FBI, the IRS, or any other sender offering you a warning that you should immediately act upon or a fantastic money-making opportunity.

Sinclair also includes several samples of the come-on letters, plus a comprehensive list of things to never do if one decides to start playing a 'game' with the fraudsters.
