Up until recently, the gangs have used free web-based E-mail accounts such as Hotmail and Yahoo. These services are now immediately identified as a free web-based E-mail accounts. The gangs are now switching to lesser-known free E-mail services. There are several large reputable US companies who offer free E-mail accounts. Anyone can open an account. The gangs have been known to use the free E-mail of reputable companies, because they are a well-known and respected telephone companies. I can assure you that, if such a scam ever appeared in the US, American authorities would shut it down in a New York second! There is also evidence that this scam has now spread to all African countries. The fraud is easy to carry out and profitable and is bound to spread to countries where law and order authorities are corrupt or ineffective. Recently a victim called us to report that the criminals had an accent typical of a West African.
