Nigerian Mafia

From Kompas

Kompas (April 19, 1996) reported on the Nigerian Mafia which has entered Indonesia. I myself have received three letters of the same tone described in the report. I ignored the letters because of their peculiarity and even disgusting nature. The letters indicated that some Nigerian high ranking officials (completely unknown to me) asked me to cooperate with them to deceive their country involving a great deal of money. Moreover, they asked me to keep the matter highly secret. My instinct warned me that it must be a conspiracy. Fortunately, I have not received any more letters.

I would like to warn entrepreneurs, government officials and the public about this scam. I further appeal to the Indonesian Chamber of Commerce, the Attorney General's Office and the police to investigate the Mafioso activities. I also call on the post office to pay special attention to letters originating from "419" Nigeria.
