I believe the '419' fraud will persist until such a time that both the initiator and the 'potential receiver' are hammered with the full weight of the national/international aws, as should be the case.
Money laundering, abettiing criminal activities, by way of enticiement/inducement are purnishable under the law. In fact, for you to be taken in by such a blattant criminal activities shows you are stupid/greedy or criminally minded, or all of the above!. So why should we feel sorry for them? Moreso, if they were successful nobody we hear of their encounter. Wherease, the image of Nigeria is being dented.
Meanwhile the western banks are still colluding with African leaders to lodge their illicit money at the expense of deprived African people, knowing full well that money laudering is against international law.

Africans don't want charity with strings attached: if they really wants to help us, they should return our monies lodged in their secret bank accounts in the real or assumed names of our dead and current leaders.
