In recent years, the 419 scam has urged imitations in a variety of trouble spots in Africa and in Eastern Europe.In fact the advance fee fraud (419 scam) is a very old Nigerian scam than that, dating back to 1588 where letters were written stating to be from a prisoner trapped in a Spanish castle. The fictitious prisoner would further promise to share a treasure with a person who will send them money to bribe their guards. The number "419" indicates to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code(part of Chapter 38: "Obtaining Property by fake pretences; Cheating") dealing with fraud.
