| Post subject: | Thoughts on Nigerian man who attempted to bomb plane |
This week I blogged about the Nigerian man who attempted to blow up an airplane on Christmas. http://scamvictimsunited.blogspot.com/2 ... -with.html This event brings up something that I have not really talked about for 6 years, because I did not want people to think that I was trying to start some conspiracy theory . . . where is all of the money from these internet scams going, and could some of them be going to fund terrorism? I have read that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man who attempted this bombing, is the son of a rich Nigerian banker, so he comes from a wealthy family and that is most likely how he had the money to fund his bombing attempt . . . but he also said that there were other like him, training to do the same thing that he did . . . how are those “others†getting the money to fund their training and the attempts that they may make? Every person that Umar knows that is training to learn to bomb the United States cannot be from a wealthy family . . . they have to be getting their funds from someplace. Isn’t it possible that the Internet Scam that we talk about on ScamVictimsUnited.com and this blog could be the resource for the money to fund these attacks? (We KNOW it is not going to pay for further education of the scammers on proper English, otherwise their emails would have gotten better by now.) This is why I have felt for years that one of the ways that we could fight terrorism is to change the way we handle counterfeit cashier’s checks. If we make it harder for them to get the money to fund these attacks, then we will decrease the number of them that they can fund and go forward with. |

I too believe that some of the money is indeed used for terrorism so it's time to do something serious about it. I think we need to place a total embargo on Nigeria... the government there doesn't seem to want to do anything about the scams originating from their country or they are just way too lax about it and need to get serious... maybe if we stop everything including the transportation to the US from there they will take notice that we have had enough... we need to take a stand and do something about this now before any more innocent lives are lost! As far as the man behind it... I hope he gets what he deserves! |

It's would be great if we could get someone from a news tv show like 20/20 to do a story on scams and their possible links to terrorism... that would get a lot of exposure without having to do all the work. I don't think a story like that has been done yet by any tv media. I also hope that he gets what he deserves. I am wondering if this would be a good time for us to start up the letter writing to our law makers again . . . between banking reform, the consumer protection act and the possible tie between scams and terriorism I think that we have a lot of points to make. |

Quote: have read that Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian man who attempted this bombing, is the son of a rich Nigerian banker, so he comes from a wealthy family and that is most likely how he had the money to fund his bombing attempt . . . I don't think his father gave him money. http://news.yahoo.com/s/mcclatchy/20091 ... hy/3389168 Below is part of the report. The suspect's father had warned the U.S. Embassy in Nigeria weeks earlier of his son's extremist connections in Yemen , and U.S. intelligence agencies may have known months earlier about a possible Nigerian threat but had never connected the dots. I have also wandered if any of the scam money was being used for terrorism. Maybe we should all write to 20/20 and ask if they will do a story about scams and what the money is used for. |

Janez - I also do not think that his father gave him the money, but I know that if I started to say "where did he get the money" people would point out that he came from a wealthy family I agree . . . writing to the media and the law makers could get someone to look at this idea. |
