UK is top destination for 419 scams

  0 1 comment
The United Kingdom is the most targetted country for 419 scams - those pesky emails which offer millions of pounds after a few minor up-front arrangement fees.

Almost a quarter of all Nigerian 419 scams were sent to Blighty with the UK also scoring highly for adult spam. Why's that? Are we particularly gullible, dense and greedy? Yes probably.
