THE MOVIE
What is 419: the Nigerian Scam?
Every year, more than 50,000 people worldwide fall victim to the Nigerian Scam. Usually contacted by e-mail about a business proposal or winning a lottery, the victims lose their life savings after they are persuaded by stories with very tempting outcomes. Watch the movie trailer
"His tragedy inspired me to create this movie" “My best friend lost all his savings after being victimized,” says Sorin Mihailovici, producer and director of “419: The Nigerian Scam”. “I will never forget for the rest of my life the look on his face and the ordeal he went through. His tragedy inspired me to create this movie”, said Mihailovici, who decided to protect his friend's identity. "After the movie got international attention I received a ton of messages asking me if I am giving anything to the victim who inspired this movie. I was overwhelmed by the amount of people who suggested that. The movie was made to create awareness and you can watch it for free on this website, but if we'll get any donations I decided that all the proceeds will go to him. It probably won't be that much - if anything - but that will be my way of saying thanks for what he did for me. I got my name out there with this movie and that's enough for me. Every little bit helps him right now", added Mihailovici. The producer went a step beyond in the movie, using real documents from the correspondence with the scammers. You can see one of these documents in the trailer below, at 00:54. “419: The Nigerian Scam” is an educational (how to avoid all kinds of offers and Internet deals) and a dramatic story – a must-see movie.
