Another positive step even though it is but one of thousands or millions in the quest to stop Nigerian fraudsters.

Peter Okoeguale will be incarcerated for 20 months for his part in a Nigerian 419 scam. Okoeguale was able to strip email addresses from websites in order to feed his database to which the scam letters would be sent. Some of the tools to accomplish this and false documents with letterhead of "Nigerian Police Force Contract Investigation Section" were in his possession when he was arrested.

With the info in his pocket, the police were able to track some of the "losers" in this scam, including one American, 72 years old, who lost $46.5K. He had the contact info for potential victims in Scotland, the Middle East, Far East, and the US.
