The Nigerian Prince Scam is a type of advance-fee fraud that typically involves an email from someone claiming to be a wealthy individual, often a royal or government official from Nigeria. The sender usually states that they need help transferring a large sum of money out of the country and promises a generous reward for assistance. Victims are asked to provide personal information and pay various fees to facilitate the transfer. Once the victim pays, the scammer disappears, leaving the victim with financial losses and no money transferred. This scam exploits trust and the desire for quick financial gain.
