The Register tells how the "419 scam" somehow manages to sustain an industry which is in the top 5 in Nigeria.
For those who haven't heard or seen it yet, the 419 scam involves a spam email basically asking for your bank details in order to help transfer a large amount of money (usually the inheritence of a late, evil baron) out of Nigeria.
Not only does this show there are a lot of gullible people outside of Nigeria, but that there are a lot of Nigerians who continously seem come into large inheritence sums.
Perhaps the ratio of evil barons to entrepreneurs in Nigeria is higher than previously believed?
