Nigeriabrev
Fra Wikipedia, den frie encyklopedi
Nigeriabrev er navnet på et utbredt forsøk på svindel gjennom E-mail og Internett.
Det «klassiske» Nigeriabrev skriver seg fra 1970-tallet som ble sendt enten i form av et vanlig brev, telex eller telefax. Mottakers navn hadde avsender vanligvis hentet fra en alminnelig bedriftskatalog. Avsender utga seg for å være en høyt betrodd Nigeriansk statstjenestemann som hadde klart å tilegne store pengebeløp på ulovlig vis, og som bad om assistanse for å få disse omsatt i vestlig valuta. Oftest skulle mottaker få halvparten av beløpet mot å samarbeide ved å stille sin bank-konto til disposisjon.
De mest åpenbare svindelforsøk gikk ut på at mottakeren skulle oppgi sin bankkonto og sende sitt firmas brevpapir, kun med en underskrift.
Et tradisjonelt Nigeriabrev kan se ut så:

I dag kommer Nigeriabrev som e-mail med de mest fantasifulle tilbud. Ett av disse er fra noe som kaller seg et spansk E-mail-lotteri. Hovedbudskapet er at mottaker har vunnet et stort beløp, intet mindre enn nesten 800 000,00 €uro og må ta kontakt og blir så bedt om å oppgi sin bank og sitt kontonummer, som umiddelbart blir tappet.
Tross gjentatte advarsler i aviser kan en fra tid til annen lese om en eller annen som har latt seg lure.
