You might think they're a bit of a joke, all those pesky e-mails, faxes and letters offering you a fortune. Well, they're not. Those get rich quick schemes - the Nigerian scams - are big business. A vicious international racket, run by serious gangsters. And now, for the first time we have some idea how many ordinary, hard-working Australians are being conned and how much they're losing. Millions of dollars every month. But, after a three-month-long investigation here and in Nigeria, there's sweet revenge. We tracked down the racketeers. And in a series of dramatic raids and sting operations, nailed the Mr Bigs.

2 years agoOne poor elderly woman was in a hospital bed dying asking for money. I got that same picture several times over 5 years.
One young woman was asking for college money. She also showed up for years never getting a day older.
Let's not forget about the Prince or two or three who just couldn't live without me.
I really feel bad for people who do get taken advantaged of. They are trying to help and the scammer on the other end of the line just couldn't care less how much damage they are doing to them.
