A scam victim tells all
I run an anti-scam blog. A couple of months ago a scam victim from a Middle East country contacted me, keen to tell me the story of how he was scammed out of several thousands of pounds.
Over the last couple of months he has forwarded me nearly 200 emails. Today he contacted me again as the scammer doesn't give up and contacted him again yesterday. He now believes he has been dealing with a scammer from Nigeria, but has also been contacted by someone from his own country and possibly from the UK.
I feel he has been the victim of an international gang of criminals.
He wants me to publish his story. I am writing it up now - removing all references to the victim and his country.
However - I wonder if even this is safe? I don't want to endager my source. Am I meddling with something I don't understand? Should I contact the UK Police - would they even be interested?
What would you do in my position?
