If you are a Nigerian 4-1-9 Fraud victim, contact a local field office of the Secret Service. At treas.gov/, there is a link to the Financial Crimes Division. You can find a nearby field office under the "contact us" link. The Secret Service and the US Attorney's Office investigate on a "case by case basis." However, they warn that the use of false names and addresses, stolen/cloned/prepaird cell phones and remote e-mail addresses make it difficult to prosecute offenders. Check out the website for additional information on financial crimes. They have a good FAQ section.
