"Nigerian Prince" found and arrested - will the email scamming end now?

Everybody knows these kinda mails:

Now the "prince" was found.

After an 18-month investigation a 67-year-old man who served as a go-between for an international team of scammers running a “Nigerian Prince” email scheme has been arrested.

Michael Neu, who is neither Nigerian nor a prince, has been charged with 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering.

Neu helped shuttle fraudulently obtained money to his co-conspirators, some of whom actually do live in Nigeria, according to the Slidell Police Department.

The scheme nets millions of dollars each year and is difficult to track since many of the participants operate outside of the United States.

“If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.” Slidell Police Chief Randy Fandal said.

“Never give out personal information over the phone, through e-mail, cash checks for other individuals, or wire large amounts of money to someone you don’t know. 99.9 percent of the time, it’s a scam.”

Some other forms of scam involve people claiming to represent law enforcement agencies or famous companies.

Often scams like this can be recognized by looking at the sender email adress. Something like "[email protected]" isn't very trustworthy. Also ask for a callback number.

Will this end email scamming now?
No. The "Nigerian Prince" wasn't the only one scamming thousands of people.
Means you have to get used to scam emails. Like always.
