World`s first 419 revenge killing?

The Czech Republic may have become the scene of the first 419-fraud revenge killing.
Michael Lekara Wayid, 50, Nigeria`s consul in the Czech Republic, was shot dead at the embassy yesterday morning. The embassy`s 37-year-old receptionist was shot in the hand during the melee which began after a suspect opened fire after visiting the embassy to discuss an unspecified business matter yesterday morning.
A 72-year-old Czech man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder, the BBC reports.
Unconfirmed, and thus far sketchy reports, suggest the unnamed suspect was a victim of a 419 (AKA advanced fee) fraud.
The scam called 419, after the relevant section of Nigeria`s criminal code, begins with offers of sums beyond the dreams of avarice in exchange for use of a Western bank account.
It`s not about raising a bank account, though. Those foolish enough to respond to the scheme soon find there`s a host of problems in moving the money, which is supposedly held with in a secret safety deposit safe or similar. Various fees and bribes are requested from the victim.

The scam is explained in greater detail on the Nigeria - the 419 Coalition Web site and on another anti-419 fraud site, which warns people have been "kidnapped and even murdered" in furtherance of the fraud. ®
