March Group Scams: Scamming the Scam Artist

Nightline recently did a feature on the con of the fake email that has reached viral internet levels.   These persistent emails appearing to come from overseas usually request money, in exchange for millions, if you come to the aid of a stranger in need.  Though people everyday continue to fall for this suspicious set of circumstances and send thousands and 100’s of thousands, it is in fact a scam of most common variety. 
The March Group has investigated these overseas email cons and reminds clients to be wary of unfamiliar or unusual emails.  Indeed these ‘419’ scams, named after the law to which they are illegal, comes all the way from Nigeria, and far from the legal jurisdiction, or prosecution, of this country.
Unfortunately, cases of monies being filtered from private and public funds directly to these scam artists are becoming more common.  Even scamming the scammer has become a retaliatory art by ‘baiting’ the conman.  Currently, the anonymous nature of the internet makes tracking this crime virtually impossible.  Deleting these suspicious emails is the most effective method to stop email cons from continuing.
