A little retribution for the people out there who were dumb enough to fall for the Nigerian prince scam: Louisiana’s Slidell Police Department has booked middle-man Michael Neu, who had been found obtaining and wiring money to co-conspirators in Nigeria. His charges comprise 269 counts of wire fraud and money laundering.



“Most people laugh at the thought of falling for such a fraud, but law enforcement officials report annual losses of millions of dollars to these schemes,” the Slidell police said in a statement. Authorities warn to be cautious when receiving suspicious emails or phone calls from unknown individuals and urge people not to disclose personal or financial information.
