21/5/2003: La truffa nigeriana
E' da molto tempo che ci provano, ed è stato riportato che a volte
riescono nel loro intento: quello di truffare.
Arrivano un po' a tutti, queste mail dalla Nigeria, con lo scopo di
catturare l'attenzione su fantomatici affari di finanza internazionale, col
miraggio di lauti guadagni. Chi abbocca, però, viene spennato come un
pollo a poco a poco, con richieste di rimborsi spese destinati a
"ungere le ruote" o agevolare l'affare a tutti i livelli. E poi
l'illuso si ritrova con un pugno di mosche...nigeriane.
Ecco alcuni esempi di queste mail:

NOI TUTTI ABBIAMO DEDICATO TANTI ANNI AL NOSTRO LAVORO E ABBIAMO COSI' ATTESO PAZIENTEMENTE QUESTA OCCASIONE D'ORO. COSA PIU' IMPORTANTE, DESIDERIAMO CONCLUDERE QUESTA TRANSAZIONE ENTRO LA FINE DEL PRESENTE ANNO CONTABILE.
