living barristers in Africa with millions of dollars, gold and diamonds stuck in
secret bank accounts and boxes than... well, starving Africans. And there
is no shortage of them.

the section of the Nigerian penal law that deals with this type of fraud. It
takes many forms, we have categorized the scams below as "Orphans and Widows of
wealthy diplomats, generals, presidents, etc."
