Another mark in the win column as the industry battles Nigerian 419 schemes. Yoshiki Fujimoto of Honolulu, 67, was recently sentenced to two years in federal prison for his part in a Nigerian scam.

Fujimoto was contacted by a Nigerian who provided his with a bad check for $245,000. Fujimoto attempted to deposit the check into his bank and was told it was part of a scam and no good. Ignoring this, Fujimoto went to another bank, opened an account with the check and transferred $100,000 to banks in New York and Indonesia.
