Attention english speaking visitors: The text message below is a form of identity fraud, or possibly an advanced fee fraud a.k.a. a Nigerian or 419 scam. An explanation of these scams can be found on scam-o-rama or on the website of the US secret service.

Onderstaande epistel is een identiteitsfraude, danwel een Nigeriaanse- of 419 scam. In ieder geval is het een vorm van oplichterij per email. De bedoeling van de oplichters is, je naam- adres- en bankgegevens in handen te krijgen om zo je rekeningen te kunnen plunderen.
Of, als het toch om een Nigeriaanse scam gaat, dan zul je als 'loterijwinnaar' iets moeten betalen om je prijs te kunnen verkrijgen. Dat kun je natuurlijk wel vergeten! Lees verdere uitleg over 'Nigeriaanse scams' hier.
