Scam 419

I will tell history about so-called Scam 419. This international damnation is obliged by the name to article of the criminal code of Nigeria with the same name. Scam 419 or Nigerian letters has begun — you will not believe! — still in the early eighties. To the middle 90 it cost to trustful people (basically to Americans) more than five billions dollars. Today anybody does not conduct calculations, however, under the most modest quotations, the general loss has passed for a long time for 10 billion.
