As much as 419 scammers may scam with impunity and relatively safe from the law in Africa, when they come to the West, the likelihood of prison and deportation is very real.

A Nigerian fraudster masqueraded as a US Army captain serving in Afghanistan on an online dating profile to scam lonely women out of more than £400,000.
Tosin Femi Olasemo, 37, was allowed into Britain on a student visa, where he set up a Match.com profile from his Cardiff home, pretending to be an American serviceman.
Olasemo, living in Cardiff on a student visa at the time of the frauds, was arrested January 2015 at his home and when police searched his computer found 'conversations with numerous other women as Travis'.
They also found several false Nigerian passports and driving licenses.
Olasemo pleaded guilty to 12 counts of fraud between December 2012 and October 2014.
He admitted four counts of fraud, four counts of possession of false identity documents, three counts of possession for use in fraud and one count of acquiring criminal property.
Judge Eleri Rees jailed him for four and a half years.
'I am told it is probable you will be deported at the end of your sentence.'
