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.
