Wish I knew a way to help you (and everyone else).  The only thing I do is block the sender or keywords, but that seldom works since they are always changing.

The Nigerian Advance Fee Scam has been around for quite awhile, but despite many warnings, continues to draw in many victims. In fact, the Financial Crimes Division of the Secret Service receives approximately 100 telephone calls from victims/ potential victims and 300-500 pieces of related correspondence per day about this scam.

I remember in the late 90’s I used to get letters mailed to my business. They wanted me to give them my bank account numbers so that they could send me 35 million dollars and I could keep 4 million of it. After receiving 4 of them of, I took them to the bank and gave them the letters. I wonder how many people were greedy enough to fall these scams?

419 is said to be a modern derivative of traditional centuries old West African scams and pranks such as the “Red Mercury” scam (a “magical substance” advance fee fraud scam very similar to Black Currency 419, which is described below. Although 419 has often been erroneously described as an evolution of an old European advance fee fraud called the “Spanish Prisoner” scam, after a journalist doing an early article on noted the similarities between it and certain forms of 419, in actuality 419 is more of a “home grown” enterprise as it were.

My neighbors 18 year old son was gullible enough to fall for it. He was selling his car, they sent him a phony check and he cashed it, then sent them back some “extra” money.  Although the scammers were never caught, at least not that I know of, my neighbor was able to report it and received some financial help from a government fund for victims of this type of crime. As long as people keep falling for this scheme, the scammers will keep on spammin’ every email account looking for the next victim.

It’s amazing just how long this scam goes on and yet no one ever get’s caught.  I seen several shows on TV showing just how this scam works and how they take some innocent people for their life savings..very sad.
