The April site search statistics show the whole span of the different fraud types.

Andreas Schranner has been used for the “next of kin” scam for the last few years and is obviously still popular with the Africans.

Hipson Scart is new and is the name used in the new “unsecured and guaranteed loan” scam. This shows that they have been pushing this one for the last couple of weeks.

The Zenith Bank is used mainly for “dormant accounts” and the Foundation de France is used to offer grants to individuals.

I wonder what May will bring? I’ll keep you posted.
