>> seen from within. The piece below is culled from Focus on Africa online.

>> Nigerian e-mail frauds targeted
>>
>> Nigeria is blamed for most of the e-mail scams
>> Microsoft and the government of Nigeria have joined forces to crack down
>> on e-mail scams, many of which are known to originate from the African
>> country.
>> In the most common type of fraud, email recipients are asked to pay a fee
>> in return for a much larger sum of money - which they never receive.
>>
>> The new agreement involves training and sharing information.
>>
>> Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) is currently
>> investigating hundreds of suspects.
>>
>> Nuhu Ribadi, executive chairman of EFCC, welcomed the partnership.
>>
>> "They (Microsoft) will help us with one of the difficult areas,
>> particularly when it comes to technology, and we will do the physical
>> work
>> of enforcement," he told the BBC.
>>
>> "We have worked with them for the last six months now, and as a result of
>> the work we have done, we are now going to bring a couple of companies to
>> justice. Some people are being prosecuted right now."
>>
>> 'Generous' reward
>>
>> The Nigerian government is also considering making spamming a criminal
>> offence punishable with jail terms of up to three years.
>>
>> The EFCC says that many of the fraudsters have fled the country and are
>> now based abroad, mainly in Spain and the Netherlands, making it more
>> difficult for the Nigerian authorities to prosecute them.
>>
>> In the most common e-mail scam, criminals send out millions of emails
>> asking people to pay an advance fee or give their bank account details to
>> help move large sums of money abroad.
>>
>> In return, they are promised they will receive a share of it.
>>
>> Mr Ribadi advices recipients of such scam letters not to reply, but to
>> forward them to law enforcement authorities in their own country who, in
>> their turn, will forward the messages to the EFCC.
