Could you be the next victim of Advance Fee Fraud? By using some common sense you can keep thieves from tricking you into handing over your cash.

Advance Fee Fraud is simply another name for “Nigerian Scams” or “419 Scams”. It’s called Advance Fee Fraud because the general idea is to get you to send cash (or other items of value) upfront by promising a large amount of money in return for your cooperation.
