Locals may be charged in Nigerian
Internet scam
By CASEY KRAUTKRAMER -For the Daily Tribune
04/24/04 - After confiscating merchandise worth up to $20,000, the
Wood County Sheriff's Department warns residents to be wary of Nigeria-based
scams.
Officers made door-to-door contacts with four people among the ages of
23 and 28 in Auburndale, Marshfield, Nekoosa and Wisconsin Rapids, seizing
between $15,000 and $20,000 in merchandise, said Deputy Sheriff Dean
Berres.
United Parcel Service of America contacted the Wood County Sheriff's
Department about the scam two weeks ago and again this week.
The Wood County residents were contacted through Internet chat rooms
by people who promised them thousands, and in some cases, millions of
dollars if they'd be willing to help.
"At this point, we are still in the process of determining
whether we wish to classify these people as victims or as players
in a larger fraud scheme," said Lt. Bob Levendoske.
Authorities didn't release the names of those involved.
Over the next two weeks, investigators plan to talk to lawyers in the
district attorney's office to determine whether to charge the Wood County
residents, Levendoske said.
"It is seen as a money-making proposition for the local participants,
and that's why we are trying to make this public and tell people
that this is a fraud," he said.
"And if you are a participant in it, you may face legal action. Any time
you get involved in financial transactions over the Internet, you have to be
extremely aware of who you're dealing with, because it's a vast arena of potential
criminal activity."
The scammers, who authorities think are from Nigeria, buy items
such as clothing and electronics with fraudulent credit card numbers,
and then send the items to homeowners. The mailing labels use fake
names, Berres said.
The participants then received large boxes with a UPS mailing sticker
and are asked to fill them with 100 pounds of items and ship them to
Nigeria. Initially, scam artists ask people to send a couple of items.
