What is Nigerian Scam or 419 Scam �� 419 ��⸦�ϰų� ��⸦ ��Դϱ�

Typically you will receive an email where they will tell you that they are relative / banker or someone closely associated with an important person who recently dies or was killed. �Ϲ�� ̸�� ߼۵˴ϴ� �� ׵�� ׵�� / �� Ǵ� �� ֱٿ� ��ϰ� �� ϰų� ��ϴ� �߿�� մϴ�. The name of the person is normally genuine as also the method of his death. ��ǰ�� Ϲ�� ̸�� ϴ� ��ֽ��ϴ�.
You will be informed that he has left a huge sum of money in some bank somewhere which they cannot transfer to their name because of local authorities. �� ϸ� �� ž�� ڱ�� ״� ��򰡿��ִ� �Ϻ� �� ̸�� ϴ� �� ׵�� ġ ��ü�մϴ�. So they need your help to transfer the huge sum of money to their name via your bank account. �׷�� ׵�� ʿ�� ׵�� ̸�� Ŵ�� հ谡 �� ¿� ��մϴ�. They will promise you a huge cut in the proceeds. �׵�� ϸ� ū �� 谨�մϴ�.

The long and short of the story is that you will be repeatedly siphoned for money to pay for phony transfer fees and other legitimate sounding causes. ��, ª�� ̾߱�� Ͽ��ֽ��ϴ� siphoned�� ݺ�� ۱� ��Ḧ �� Ÿ �չ�� Ҹ�� մϴ�. They will sometimes even have bankers on their side to verify their authenticity. ��൵�� ׵�� ?�� ׵�� δ� �׵�� Ȯ��մϴ�. If you provide full bank account details you are in for more trouble like empty bank account etc. People have been killed too. ��ü �� ϴ� ��쿡 �� ¸� �� ̻� �� ó�� ʹ��մϴ�.
