Crackdown On Nigerian Cyber Crime by phemygee(m): 8:32pm On Oct 23, 2009
ABUJA: Nigeria's anti-corruption police is working with Microsoft to halt thousands of fraudulent e-mails in a crackdown on internet crime in Africa's most populous country. The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) said yesterday its new project "Eagle Claw" was aimed at improving Nigeria's tarnished image as one of the world's top countries for internet crime. "Upon full deployment, the capacity to take down fraudulent e-mails will increase to 5 000 monthly," said Farida Waziri, the agency's chairwoman. The agency said it had already shut down 800 scam websites and arrested 18 people. - Reuters

They are the fraudster, so a thief can not stop a thief.
They hadn't finished solving the problem of this rich country and they are cutting there coat bigger than there seize.
If they want to stop fraud, they better start from there homes.
Thx

@ i-guru, remember that only a thief knows the footstep of a thief or how to get a thief, Okay, I think is a good beginning for them so that they will erase the shame we carry about both outside and inside Nigeria
Re: Crackdown On Nigerian Cyber Crime by mikesleek(m): 10:06pm On Oct 23, 2009
well, if only a thief can catch a thief, then it means they would end up catching themselves. It's just a big hoax

The only time you will see change and an end to corruption is when we elect leaders born from 1975 onwards. Otherwise the old dogs of the 50-60 and back can never learn new tricks on perfect leadership.

SEE THIS WILL NOT STOP ALL THE CRIMES IN THIS COUNTRY. LET THEM START WITH PEOPLE IN THE PRESIDENCY SEAT. COS WITHOUT THAT THIS CAN NEVER SUCCEED AND IT WILL BE A WASTE OF MONEY LIKE IN OTHERS.
