Is the money scammed by Nigerian scammers used to fund Al Qaeda in Nigeria?

Question

Just a rumor I heard. Maybe someone here as hard evidence. That is what I am after. Someone got a link?

Al Qaeda is in Nigeria and actively recruiting. The FBI does have agents on the ground in Nigeria. I posted that question to make people aware and to get feedback. Guerilla M I liked your answer.

People do fall for these Nigerian Scams. To the tune of about 2 billion US Dollars annually. There is such an economic loss to Nigeria that you think our government would step in and do something about it.
It is crap and many intelligent people fall for these scams. It is usually about vulnerability and not intelligence.

Answer 2

In a word yes. This answer will briefly address all aspects of the scam including ties to terrorism.

Nigeria is a bonafide hell hole that not only funds terrorism, but allows any practice that brings in money. These clowns want money, and yes al queda has camps there as this nation is not under geneva convention or any other form of international law. If you remember one of the 9-11 hijackers was Nigerian. These people have no ethics and will allow any degenerate behavior that funds them.

If anyone has already sent personal information to these people they will steal your identity (for use in terrorist activity-aliases passports etc.) and any money you send, you have lost forever. If you have been a victim of any Nigerian scam you can report them to the U.S. Secret Service and you can find their website with a simple Yahoo Search. You really shouldn't count on seeing your money ever again though. There is no prize to win, and these names are merely aliases used by those who are attempting to fleece you of your money. You cannot win any lottery without buying a ticket.

This nonsense has all of the signs of a scam. There exists a certain form of immoral degenerate that trolls the internet searching for suckers who believe that they have gotten very lucky and won a lottery which they have never entered. They will probably entice you to send an advance fee to claim your non-existant winnings and if you do send this money, you can kiss it goodbye. The money will likely be en-route to Nigeria, a cesspool of fraud that has been the center of these types of fraud over the last few decades. The best thing to do is to delete such emails immediately and to never reply to them. In some cases, people who travel to claim their winnings are taken hostage, and in worse-case scenarios are killed when whoever is paying ransom payments exhausts their money supply. If anything online sounds to good to be true it always is buddy. But this is simply advance fee fraud (a prevalent type of fraud which continously asks for money to cover unforseen expenses) and is intended to drain your bank account, promising money that simply does not exist. Hopefully, this answers your question. Also, any email that uses all-caps is definitely a scam.

If you have any more questions, do a yahoo search on lottery scams, Nigerian terrorism, nigeria 419 scams linked to terrorism, internet fraud, or advance fee fraud.
