Summary/Abstract |
This article argues that the organised nature of advance-fee fraud is incidental to the activities carried out by scammers and so should not attract the same level of attention as other organised criminal groups. The article concludes that although states should be responsible for the prevention and punishment of the perpetrators within their boundaries, there should be a coordination of efforts between the different states' security apparatuses because of the loose arrangements between some of the criminal elements and the cross-boundary nature of the crime.
