	Rick's spam digest :: Classic spam: Nigerian 419 scam
		Here’s a typical example of the kind of message employed in the continuing “Nigerian 419 scam” (named for a section of the Nigerian criminal code that supposedly bars the practice), a con game so large and lucrative that it apparently employs thousands and accounts for a visible percentage of the Nigerian gross domestic product.
		The scammers in the 419 racket rationalize their crimes by believing that their victims are ignorant, lazy, and greedy Westerners who have no knowledge of or interest in African affairs, and no means to check up on the stories they tell.
		No doubt this guy has realized that most people by now know of the “Nigerian Scam” (although they may not know what it is), so he thinks it might be wise to play down the Nigerianity of the letter.
