Die Nigerianer geben nicht auf

Mein zweiter Roman mit dem Titel 419 (hoffentlich bald im Buchhandel erhältlich) handelt von den Betrügereien der nigerianischen Mafia. In letzter Zeit kommen sie wieder vermehrt, die E-Mails und Briefe mit der Bitte doch bei einem nicht ganz so legalen Geldtransfer behilflich zu sein und dafür eine nicht unerhebliche Provision zu kassieren. So wie dieses von Dr. Anthony Ayomide:
