UK
and world Fraud Map Launched (Google maps)
Ultrascan
Advanced Global Investigations today launched a World and UK fraud
map, which shows locations where 419 Advance Fee Fraudsters
are working
or are sighted on a regular basis.

Despite
the fact the police might step up its efforts in the coming years,
to apprehend 419 scammers or disrupt them by taking down their
communication
lines, Ultrascan warns that this is not enough as gang members
are easily replaced and scams very adaptable to new
circumstances.
Also hampering enforcement efforts are the dispersion of the
crime rings to smaller cities and anonymity of the perpetrators.
Next
fraud maps to be published are Spain and France.

Nigerian
criminal networks are "OPEN SOURCE CRIMINAL NETWORKS"
They
exist of small diverse autonomous cells, with as main assets anonymity
and a self renewing adaptive capabilities. They have no gravity
point like leadership or pre-defined structure. It results in organized
crime with significant shorter decision cycli then any government
agency.
(Bureaucratic
structures) Governments are not capable to isolate this problem,
or combat it.
These
Open Source networks are a dangerous vehicle for anyone that wants to
commit a crime and stay under the horizon of Law enforcement or other agencies.
Anonymity opens the road to co-operation between groups of criminals
that normally would never consider co-operation, because of (cultural
background) animosity!
With
open source criminal networks we have entered the decade of "crime terrorism
symbiosis"
The
only solution against (419) global "Open Source Crime Networks", is public/victim
friendly centralized reporting and research. If governments
will not make this possible, we will.
