    White Van Speaker scams fraud Involving Scam Speakers Sold From White Vans by Speakermen fraudsters. Subject Speakers sold from SUVs Date Tue, 28 Aug 2001  
    http://www.crimes-of-persuasion.com/Crimes/InPerson/speaker_scams.htm
    
    Extractions: Date: Tue, 28 Aug 2001 I have been approached several times in Los Angeles and Seattle by 20-30 year old men while driving in my car. They always have this bug-eyed shifty look to them and they want to sell me home speaker systems. And we all enjoy fast-talking, hurried salesman. The first time, out of curiosity, I stopped and looked at the products. I am somewhat familiar with speakers but I had never heard of these "revolutionary" brands. When I finally said that I wasn't interested, I was met with lower prices and "do you have any friends that might be interested?" I'm almost sure their business is not legit, but I'm curious as to where they get these speakers (and it's always speakers), and why do they always hit me up when I'm driving. Thanks for any info.

16. The "Nigerian Letter" Advance Fee Fraud - ABC's Of Small Business
    The Nigerian Letter du jour, interspersed with comments. For the small business owner who might think that just possibly an offer out of the blue for a cut of millions of dollars could be truthful.  
    http://www.abcsmallbiz.com/bizbasics/misc/nigerian_letter.html
    
    Extractions: Advance Fee Fraud ABC's has been getting listed in more directories recently. While that's good, because it lets you find us, it also gets us on some great spam/scam mailing lists. For the next few issues, we're going to examine some existing and potential email scams so that you can see what they are and why they sometimes work. We're going to start with a classic, the "Nigerian Letter." This has been around since at least 1987, but the advent of email and the cheapness of spam has made it spread further and faster, so it's actually becoming a better deal for the scamsters. In 1997, the U.S. government estimated that U.S. citizens alone were losing over $300 million a year to this scam. Some investors you would consider to be "real achievers" have been bitten hard by this one. One guy spent $5.2 million dollars and sued the Central Bank of Nigeria for the funds in U.S. Court before he realized he'd been scammed. How do they do it? The basic concept is that the scamster offers big bucks, in the millions, that he can obtain only with the victim's help. The reasons range from overbilled funds that can be recovered for oil or commodities, through mislaid bank deposits to the fruits of outright bribery and corruption.
