Crime Pays - True International Theft

When a phishing email crosses borders and leads to the theft of over $400,000 from a minister and her husband, a gray hat hacker steps in to stop the damage. This is the story of a Nigerian 419 scam that paid off for the crooks and ruined lives of unsuspecting victims.

@neilroy6 Ive dealt with one. Once i told them i was a kid they gave all my games back (steam). It was a girl.. lol.. She buyed a GAME on my steam and i got the account back.

i reckon she shoudve stopped after she was warned so all the money she lost after was kindly of her wrong doing

but how can u blame someone who is that old and emotionally fragile.

I think those nigerian bastards should watch this and see they have ruined more than riches, they have destroyed a family

If the government is that incompetent they should hire ethic hackers. They do exist. However they are fewer in number than criminal hackers.
