Cybercrimes With Ben Hammersley (2014)

S1E3 Scams

Recent statistics suggest that nearly 70% of all email communications consist of spam. Nigeria frequently garners a reputation as a major source of these scams. In this episode, Ben Hammersley journeys to Lagos to engage with both the scammers themselves and the law enforcement officials dedicated to apprehending them. However, with a population of 168 million and being Africa's largest economy, Ben questions whether branding Nigeria as the primary villain in this narrative is merely an oversimplified stereotype.
