[Please distribute widely...] "Unearthing the Mysteries of Online Scam" -- LDV, July 23 @ 1:00pm www.cybercrime.org.ng
Nigerian Anti-Scam Network is a movement that is composed of patriotic Nigerians who are concerned about ending the bad image that cybercrime and spam has brought to our nation. We are not an NGO and we have no list of members. We are an online youth network -- of young professionals who are concerened and are willing to create change. This is a movement of those who want to do the little that they can to rid society of one of its ills, nothing more. We send our ideas to one of our member sites and reveal information on the evils being perpetrated in our society. We have no mandate to arrest or prosecute anyone; we aim basically to expose the supporters and perpetrators of these crimes on our online messageboards so that people who are desirous of information can have a place where they can do a spot-check and thus avoid being spammed. Many foreigners have anti-scam sites that are little more than anti-Nigeria sites. We are Nigerians and as such we believe that we can give a more balanced opinion. Throughout the world, Cybercrime is a very serious topic and a very contentious one at that. A lot of countries are losing a lot of money due to the activities of cyber 419s. Nigeria have been touted as the major breeding ground for most of these online scams. Nigeria's ranking in the corruption index have been very discouraging for the past three years and we know that this is not only as a result of Government officials' corruptness, but also as a result of activities of online scammers. To be better prepared to fight these menace and bring back our lost reputation, some young Nigerian professionals started the Nigerian Anti-Scam network and have been doing extensive research on the activities of these scammers and ways of salvaging the country's image. We invite you to come and share part of our experience as we discuss cybercrime and its effect on our socio-economic life.
