Lets face reality everyone has a tendency of greed both Nigerains, finns and other Nationals alike, aside from that the Nigerian scammers only succeded because they had those Finns who were their conspirators if the Finns informed the police then the Nigerians will have been arrested long time ago.Now the Nigerians recieves long Jail terms while the real criminals the finns who gave the Nigerians the morale to act because without them the letters of Invitations would have been signed will recieve less jail terms.
Just for your information - if you actually read the story posted by Pursuivant, you'll notice that the "invitations" in the following...
"
Another way that the suspects are believed to have arranged illegal entry into Finland was by providing invitations. Seven Finns provided signatures for the invitations. The main suspects are suspected of having threatened one Finn with bodily harm, and of blackmailing another."
...had
nothing whatsoever to do with the educational institutions & their invitation letters to the accepted students. The invitations here refer to those annexed to "ordinary" visitor visas. (Also pay close attention to the friendly means of asking for these signatures...)
The educational institutions, on the other hand, sent out their invitation letters in good faith, since the forgeries were so brilliantly done

And please read the original news story again - you'll also come to notice that the 3200-4500 Euro fees that the Nigerian fraudsters asked for were not "prizes" paid to Finns, they were money taken by this group of Nigerians
from their fellow Nigerians wishing to come to Finland, capiche?
No offence to Nigerians in general, but if you ask me, that sort of "services" stink to high heaven.
Of course there are bad and dishonest people here in Finland, too, but please do get your facts straight from what you read. If that had been a reading comprehension test, you'd have
flunked. See now why they ask for good language skills?
-
An afterthought - you wouldn't have a
paltry 4000 euros lying about, by any chance? Send them to me please, if it's no trouble
