The number "419" refers to the article of the Nigerian Criminal Code (part of Chapter 38: "Obtaining Property by false pretences; Cheating dealing with fraud.

It's just a heads up for DT users, since some thieves still try to target people randomly, believe it or not some may still fall in the trick, that's why they keep sending messages.
