driftwood Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advance_fee_fraud The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (part of Chapter 38: "Obtaining Property by false pretences; Cheating") dealing with fraud.[6] The American Dialect Society has traced the term "419 fraud" back to 1992.
