I am looking for contributions to start a page on 'Nigerian Love Scams'

The nigerian love scammers are netting billions of dollars every year. They cannot be stopped and a lot of people are to embarrassed to report them

We also learned through the FBI that a portion of scammer's earnings are used to fund terrorist activities and helped to fund 9/11. How much is anyone's guess, but they are nothing to play with. Scammers are highly organized, with layers of bosses, all of whom get paid. The lowest rung are the Yahoo boys, who are young men, anywhere from 14-30 years old, who sit at the computers and send out thousands of "winks", "hugs", etc. Once they get a live "mugu" (their name for a victim, which translated means "fool"), you are then passed on to a boss, who begins to work the phone calls, etc. The internet cafe owner must also be paid, as does the law authorities who protect the cafes. Estimates are that 50% of the Nigerian law enforcement police are on the take.
