Arrests in Nigerian Letter Scam Toronto scam organization shut down Three men have been arrested in Toronto, Ontario, as the result of a police investigation into the Nigerian letter scam. The investigation, code-named Canadian Eagle, has been operated jointly by the RCMP, the FBI and the U.S. Secret Service, and in the last two years has led to the arrests of between 30 and 40 people in relation to cross-border telemarketing schemes. According to the RCMP there were more than 300 victims, mostly Americans, of this international letter scam working out of Toronto. The scam has been operating in Toronto for nearly a decade. The shut-down of this Toronto group is only one small part of a large, sophisticated international operation, and the fraud will undoubtedly continue. There were no Canadian victims in this version of the scam. The RCMP says that scam operators usually do not target victims in the host countries. Canadians are victimized by letter scams that come from New York City or the United Kingdom. ME PERSONALLY I would add that things are moving AND WE HOPE THAT THE HEAD IS ARRESTED
