Nigerian Fee Advance Fraud

The U.S. Secret Service has set up a task force addressing Nigerian "Advance Fee Fraud" schemes. In these schemes, someone pretending to be a Nigerian official or business-person asks ordinary individuals and companies to help move millions of dollars out of Nigeria in exchange for high, hassle-free profits. The fraudsters solicit investors through mass mailings, faxes, phone calls, and e-mails.
