Nigerian scams have proliferated over the internet through emails. Their modus operandi are predictable. But recently, it was discovered that Nigerian scammers are operating on Facebook already. This was eventually revealed when a Google employee was almost duped by the said scammers. She was contacted through Facebook. In the popular social networking community, you are only to receive emails from your friends inside your particular network. No one else. It is believed that one of the employee’s friends’ account has been hacked by the scammers. And was therefore compromised. In this light, security authorities are predicting that these type of fraud will step one level further and will continue to fool many others of their money and bank accounts.
