International cooperation dates back to 2001, when the Council of Europe Cybercrime Convention made news in Budapest. Agreement reached was a model for legislation, yet only a few countries outside Europe have signed or ratified it. This includes Japan.
Legal moves against Nigeria -- home of the archetypal advanced fee scam fraud ( 'I am the son of the late blah-de-blah') -- have failed "basically because the government has not passed necessary laws and does not have adequate resources." The largest fraud ever committed by a Nigerian ring involved a Brazilian bank and one of its employees. Losing $ 242 million, the bank collapsed.
