The product is Nigerian 419 Scams Sure, there are also people selling legitimate products, like Herbal Fake Viagra Pills, where there might or might not be a US presence, but I've already been called by Nigerian scammers abusing the Internet version of telephone-deaf-relay services, and I expect VOIP will be relatively simple as well. You can't put a 50000% tariff on what the Nigerians are trying to sell, because they're only selling promises they don't plan to deliver on, and in the classic version of the scam, the victim can't even complain to his local police because his involvement was obviously criminal (though newer versions, like fake lotto or the rich widow with cancer wanting to give away her money, don't always have this limitation.) |
