Eric Kallgren Boulder, Colorado USA | Posted at 2:11pm on Tuesday, May 12th, 2009 | Barron's got served with a "stupid media watch" by Ken Magill at Direct Magazine on May 12, 2009:
"An utterly confused article about Nigerian 419 fraud that ran in Barron’s last week led with an eye-popping stat: “An updated version of the Nigerian letter scam is making the rounds, and has already tricked 13,500 U.S. victims out of as much as $40.5 million."
Of course, any stat can be made eye-popping when it’s pulled straight out of someone’s butt.
The article began soundly enough by describing Nigerian 419 fraud—scams where someone claims to have millions of dollars they’d like to get out of a country, usually Nigeria, but needs assistance doing so. The scammers offer would-be dupes a large percentage of the transaction if they’ll let the money pass through their account."
