Man Arrested in Australia Over Nigerian E-mail Scam

slasher_14 writes "A 39 year old Sydney man has been arrested over the Nigerian Scam. Simultanious raids were conducted in two homes by police, who siezed computers and documents. Over the last 6 months, Australian police have tracked about 1.5 million dollars. The man faces Dubbo Local court today, charged with 17 offenses." Hopefully this means my inbox will be seeing less of these e-mails.

    Of course this man is in the wrong and like all spammers should be chucked out with the trash however you have to wonder how stupid some of the victims are. If something looks to good to be true it probably is.
