You’ve probably heard about the Nigerian scams that constantly flow into your Inbox and some how rip tons of people off every year. Well, there is another side to this story. A reporter traveled to Nigeria to investigate and found that those “Nigerian scams” may have nothing to do with Nigeria. Chris Hansen, of NBC, traveled the globe and found the people who are actually sending these phony lottery, car and cashier’s check scams. The No. 1 hotspot was London. So, these scams aren’t just from Nigeria. Just remember that if you get an e-mail offering you money, delete it immediately. If you receive a cashier’s check automatically assume it’s a phony until a bank or institution confirms otherwise.
