More to come say Nigerian scam police
Nigeria's Economic and Financial Crimes Commission is promising to push the country out of the top ten for fraudulent emails thanks to arrests and proactive action to scan all emails.
So far "Operation Eagle Claw" has seen members of 18 syndicates arrested and 800 scam websites shut down.
At the moment, Eagle Claw has delivered the following results:
Over 800 fraudulent e-mail addresses have been identified and shut down.
There have been 18 arrests of high profile syndicates operating cyber crime organizations.
Nigeria has become so synonymous with spam crimes that they are known as 419-ers after the relevant section of Nigeria's penal code.
