Nigerian Scam

Nigerian scam is the name of a prevalent hoax that lures an individual into handing money over to a stranger. The scam often involves an email letter that describes a huge cash commission; the commission is said to be available to the person who helps facilitate a large monetary transfer. The scammer will ask for money upfront to cover transaction costs. If the money is provided, the scammer will either try to get more money, or simply disappear.
