419 emanated from section 419 of the Criminal Code of Nigeria which deals with the crime of obtaining by false pretence (fraud) while yahoo yahoo was adopted from yahoo application, which was the most popular site used by people to send messages. Fraudsters used the site to send and exchange messages with their victims. Thanks. 4 Likes |
