Examples of the "Nigerian scam" that flood my email box everyday.

Friday, April 08, 2005

Here is an interesting variation on a theme.

This scam purports to come from a company looking for assistance in import export.

Now there may be those of you who would take this at face value.

However, think about it for a moment. Why would a professional company write to a complete stranger, who they know nothing about, to ask him to assist in their operations?

The answer is, no professional genuine company would ever do this.

You will also notice that the writer of the email is illiterate, not a good sign.

There are two possibilities:

1 The scammer is intent on stealing my bank details and id, or more likely

2 The scammer wishes to use my bank account to launder money

Either way, do not touch this with a bargepole.
