Reporting a not so new form of Internet Crime and Fraud

Two days ago I found a comment on my post about Achmed Abdul-Azeez, which I posted on the 17th of January, 2005.

The comment was not about Achmed, but about a so called security company called "Meridian Fiduciary", which was mentioned in the post. This comment included a link to a blog where the writer, who calls himself the "Internet Reporter", tells his story involving "Meridian Fiduciary".


The crooks he met there presented him with the famous "case full of dollars" and did the chemical trick on him. Needless to say, they got a lot of money from him.


If you read the story, you will recognise the psychological trick they used to keep him hooked. This works almost every time!


Although he writes that this is a new form of crime, this is not the case. The "case full of money" trick has been used for years, even before the Africans found the Internet.


It was just unfortunate that the "Internet Reporter" has never heard about this kind of fraud. The Internet Reporter: Reporting a not so new form of Internet Crime and Fraud
