Good/Bad news from the Union Bank of NigeriaPosted by: Michael Holdcroft in Internet fraudThis short note came in a couple of days ago. It’s exactly clear who they are targeting with this one. I don’t think they are trying to get the casual reader who has never heard of 419 or lost money in Africa. To me, it looks as though they are trying to catch previous victims anew.
