Wednesday, May 18, 2011
Wicked Officials
This scammer was so worried about me falling prey to those "wicked officials" that she sent me the same email twice.
Oh those "wicked officials"..LOL:)
"Good day to you
Hurry now and claim your fund from the Central Bank of Nigeria or your fund will be confiscated by the wicked officials of the CBN. My name is Rosemary Helen. I am a Computer Scientist working with Central Bank of Nigeria CBN. I am 25 years old, just started working with CBN. I came across your file marked X and your released disk painted RED.
I took time to study it and tried to find out why the funds were not released to you. Those evil officials can never tell you the truth that they won't release the fund to you; instead they allow you spend your money unnecessarily. I do not intend to work here forever; I can help you claim your fund if you can certify me of my security and assure me that you would settle with me after you must have received your payment.
I must do this because you need to know the status of your payment and cause for the delay. This is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria and you may not understand because you are not a Nigerian. The only thing needed to release this fund to you is the Original Anti Drug/Terrorist Clearance Certificate, which will be tendered to any of your nominated bank and the Internal Revenue Service IRS for clearance of the transferred amount in your account.
Once the Original Anti Drug/Terrorist Clearance Certificate is cleared, fund will immediately reflect in your bank within 10 Minutes. The only authorized and sincere person who will issue you the Original Documents is Mr.Richard Clifford. Make sure you indicate your file letter X and tell her its painted color Red so she will be able to recognize your file. The president made a compensation fund release for all unpaid beneficiaries/contractors.
Therefore, you are not going to receive your original initial fund, the compensation fund release bonus will be added to your original fund payment. The whole funds both your initial payment and the compensation payment shall be transferred to your bank account as soon as the Original documents are cleared.
Do get back to me ASAP if you are still interested in claiming your fund.
Yours sincerely,
Miss. Rosemary Helen"

This scammer at least tried to make his letter look professional.
He claims to be the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (at which point you throw the mail away).
He claims that my company is owed $15M.
All I have to do is send him a copy of my passport (never ever do that) and a few other docs.
In order to add "credibility" to his scam, he has attached the logo of his "company" and even his (or someone's) photo.
How reassuring!

This pile of shit arrived in my mailbox today.
Entitled "Letter from your friend", it goes on to tell me that there is $15M waiting for me.
It asks me to send a copy of my passport.
It is of course a scam.
Under no circumstances should your respond to one of these; most certainly never ever send copies of your passport to anyone on the net.

Barrister Charles from Nigeria writes to me today, haven't we heard from him before?
Anyway, this little scam involves him suggesting that I use my US bank account (which I don't have) to help him and his mates shift $40M out of Nigeria.
The catch?
1 They are based in Nigeria
2 They ask me to put $100K into a Nigerian bank
3 They want me to travel to Lagos.
Please, how stupid do they think I really am?
FROM: Barister Raymond Charles
Central Bank of Nigeria

Dear Sir:
I have been requested by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company to contact you for assistance in resolving a matter. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company has recently concluded a large number of contracts for oil exploration in the sub-Sahara region. The contracts have immediately produced moneys equaling US$40,000,000. The Nigerian National Petroleum Company is desirous of oil exploration in other parts of the world, however, because of certain regulations of the Nigerian Government, it is unable to move these funds to another region.
You assistance is requested as a non-Nigerian citizen to assist the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, and also the Central Bank of Nigeria, in moving these funds out of Nigeria. If the funds can be transferred to your name, in your United States account, then you can forward the funds as directed by the Nigerian National Petroleum Company. In exchange for your accommodating services, the Nigerian National Petroleum Company would agree to allow you to retain 10%, or US$4 million of this amount.
However, to be a legitimate transferee of these moneys according to Nigerian law, you must presently be a depositor of at least US$100,000 in a Nigerian bank which is regulated by the Central Bank of Nigeria.
If it will be possible for you to assist us, we would be most grateful. We suggest that you meet with us in person in Lagos, and that during your visit I introduce you to the representatives of the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, as well as with certain officials of the Central Bank of Nigeria.
Please call me at your earliest convenience at +. Time is of the essence in this matter; very quickly the Nigerian Government will realize that the Central Bank is maintaining this amount on deposit, and attempt to levy certain depository taxes on it.
Please respond to this email ().
Yours truly,
Barister Raymond Charles.

I received this email from someone claiming to be the Project Director of the Department of Petroleum Resources (DPR) Lagos, Nigeria, today.
Without any doubt, this is a scam.
He claims to have $45M arising from the overinvoicing of a contract; ie he claims to have stolen money.
Therefore if the money existed, which of course it doesn't, he is asking me to become an accomplice to a crime.
He then, rather disingenuously, goes on to say that he believes that I am reliable and honest.
I have to provide him with my bank details, but I must not tell my bank! Surely, by now, it is clear that this is a scam.
Unfortunately, some people are too stupid and greedy to see this; they fall for these scams, and lose a lot of money.
Don't let yourselves become one of these "mugs".

This scumbag from Nigeria wants me to help him steal $28M.
All I have to do is to provide him with my bank details.
Needless to say, I have no intention of assisting a thief. Additionally, there is the small matter that the money does not really exist.
All that would happen, in this "safe" transaction, is that my id would be stolen and my bank account raided.
Only a moron would fall for this.
Daniel Taiwo
Niger-Delta Development Commission
No.1, NDDC S Avenue,
Port Harcourt, Rivers State,
Nigeria.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am Daniel Taiwo the Director-General of Nigeria-Delta Development
Commission (NDDC), Constitutionally mandated with the responsibility of
managing of Niger-Delta Development Fund for the development of the
region.
Niger-Delta is the south-south geographical area of Federal Republic of
Nigeria. The region is endowed with natural resources, which constitute
about 95% of our national income. Consequently to the exploration of Oil
and Gas, there has been verse ecological and environmental pollution in
this region.
Rather unfortunate, the region lacks most infrastural amenities. These
and much more have necessitated the establishment of Niger-Delta
Development Commission, immediately after the inception of this present
democratic government in Nigeria.
Sequel to the passing of bill by the National House of Assembly (the
legislative organ of the Government) and duly accented to by the
president, legitimizing the operations of the Commission by an act of
law. The Commission has, therefore, been constitutionally empowered to
implement a policy, which will relatively address the long-standing
neglect of the region.
Encouraging, the commission having successfully inherited the fine
accruing from the violation of the Associated Gas Injection Act of 1979,
the oil companies operational in the region have also been mandated to
pay 2% of their taxable profit to Niger Delta Development Fund, kept in
NDDCS account in Central Bank of Nigeria- with my commission having
jurisdiction over the fund.
The fund has since incurred well over hundred million dollars. The
commission having performed its duties diligently in identifying,
negotiating and awarding people oriented contracts worth millions of
dollars, myself and colleagues want to have Twenty Eigth million five
hundred thousand Six and Ninty us dollars (US$28, 500, 690.00)
transferred abroad for our personal use. Consequently, we want you to
assist have the fund remitted into your account.
Upon your acceptance to collaborate with us, we will front you to have
performed a contract with the commission, therefore, the beneficiary of
the fund. Every document in respect of the contract, legitimizing you as
the true beneficiary of the fund and authorizing you its immediate
remittance into your nominated account shall be obtained and perfected.
Importantly, however, due to the nature of the fund and the need to
have the esteemed personality of myself and colleagues involved in this
transaction protected, we have agreed to jointly invest the fund in your
economy.
The proceeds of the investment, you shall be, as will be agreed, pay to
our respective offshore account. I must assure you that this transaction
is safe on all its totality; however, absolute confidentiality is
required even after the fund has been remitted into your nominated
account. Note, for your assistance you shall be compensated with 15% of
the fund while 5% is for any expense incurred during the transaction.
You are hereby required to furnish me with the following information?s:
1. Bank name and address
2. Particulars of your bank account
3. Your full name, address and private telephone and fax numbers.
On the receipt of the above information?s, the fund shall be remitted
into your Nominated account within 14 working days.
I await your immediate response.
Best Regards
Daniel Taiwo.

A certain Dr. Prince Abebe has written to me, asking for my help in transferring money out of Nigeria.
It is a sizeable sum, some $123M in fact; definitely worth getting out of bed for!
However, it seems that the good doctor and his chums have gotten this money (which remember does not exist) by deliberately over-invoicing other companies.
They want me to give them my company name and number; so that they can steal the money, which doesn't exist.
Naturally I must not tell anyone about this, oops, I shouldn't really have posted details about it on this site then should I?
I am also assured that this transaction is 100% safe.
Dear oh dear, do they really think that I am that stupid?
ATTN : President/Ceo
Dear Sir,
First I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction. This
transaction by virtue of its nature is utterly confidential and 'top secret'.
You have been recommended by an associate who assured me in confidence of
your ability and reliability to prosecute a transaction of great magnitude
involving a pending business transaction requiring maximum confidence.
We are top officials of the federal government contract review panel who
are intereste in importation of goods as well as investing in your type of
business with funds which are presently trapped in Nigeria. In order to commence
this business we solicit your assistance to enable us transfer into your
account the said trapped funds.
The source of this fund is as follows :
During the last Regime here in Nigeria. Some Government Officials set up
companies and awarded themselves contracts which were grossly over-invoiced
in various ministries.The present Government set up a conract Review Panel
and we have identified a lot of inflated contract funds which are presently
floating in the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) ready for payment.
However by virtue of our position as civil servants and members of this panel.
We cannot acquire this money in our names. I have therefore been delegated
as a matter of trust by my colleagues of the panel to look for an overseas
partner into whose account we would transfer the sum of US$123,500,000.00.
(One Hundred and Twenty-Three Millon,Five Hundred Thousand United States
Dollars)
Hence we are writing you this letter.
We have agreed to share the money thus:
1. 20% for the Account owner (you)
2. 70% for us (The officials)
3. 10% to be used in settling taxation and all local and foreign expenses.
It is from the 70% that we wish to commence the importation business and
Investment with your help. Please note that this transaction is 100% safe
and we hope to conclude the transfer latest ten(10) bank working days from
the date of the receipt of the following information;
1. Your full names and company name
2. Your Personal TeL. Number and Fax Number
The above information will enable us write letters of claim and job description
respectively. This way we will use your company's name to apply for payment
and re-award the contract in your company's name.
We are looking forward to doing this business with you and solicit your
confidentiality
in this transaction.
I will bring you into the complete picture of this pending deal when I have
heard from you.
Your faithfully,
Dr. Prince Abebe.

The attorney of the Central Bank of Nigeria (a highly respected and honest institution!) sent me this fine piece of prose today.
He talks about a "huge" sum of money (a very professional term), $40M, which seems to have been obtained illegally.
Never one to be concerned about the finer points of law, our scammer friend is happily asking me to compound the fraud; and transfer the money (which let me remind you does not really exist) to my account.
I must maintain absolute secrecy, oops!

He talks about a "huge" sum of money (a very professional term), $40M, which seems to have been obtained illegally.
Never one to be concerned about the finer points of law, our scammer friend is happily asking me to compound the fraud; and transfer the money (which let me remind you does not really exist) to my account.
I must maintain absolute secrecy, oops!
Pathetic!

These scam letters now purport to come from anywhere other than Nigeria.
This one, which I got htree times yesterday, claims to come from Hong Kong.
The writer says that he has access to $28M, being the bank account of a dead oil consultant.
The writer offers to share 20% of the account, if I put myself forward as the next of kin of the dead man; ie he wants me to commit a fraud.
These letters used to pretend to offer the chance to help someone out of a bad situation; now they just offer the recipient the chance to steal someone else's money.
I have not that much sympathy for people who are stupid enough to fall for the "bleeding heart" letters, as their deisre to "help" is in fact motivated by greed and stupidity.
However, I have nothing but contmept for those people who fall for "steal a dead man's bank account" letters.
At the end of the day, if these spurious bank accounts existed (and they don't), those that fall for this scam are knowingly stealing (or at least think they are) someone else's money.
In my opinion, You deserve evrything you get.

ATTENTION:
I am Mr.Wang Qin, credit officer of Hang Seng Bank Ltd,
sorry if my English may not be well composed but I have a confidential
business proposition for you.
I honestly apologize and hope I do not cause you much embarrassment by
contacting youthrough this means for a transaction of this magnitude,but this is
due
to confidentiality and prompt access reposed on this medium.Furthermore,due to
this i
ssue on my hands now,it became necesary for me to seek your assistance, and it
is
imperative for me to know your opinion.
On June 6,1998, a British Oil consultant/contractor with the Chinese
Solid Minerals Corporation, Mr.Smith Lawrence made a numbered time (Fixed)
Deposit for twelve calendar months, valued at US 28,000,000.00 (Twenty-eight
Million
Dollars only) in my branch.
Upon maturity,I sent a routine notification to his forwarding address but
got no reply. After a month, we sent a reminder and finally we discovered from
his
contract employers, the Hong Kong Solid Minerals Corporation that Mr. Smith
Lawrence
died from an automobile accident. On further investigation, I found out that he
died
without making a WILL, and all attempts to trace his next of kin was fruitless.
I therefore made further investigation and discovered that Mr.Smith Lawrence
did not declare any kin or relations in all his official documents, including
his
Bank Deposit paperwork in my Bank. This sum of US28,000,000.00 is still sitting
in my
Bank and the interest is being rolled over with the principal sum at the end of
each
year.No one will ever come forward to claim it. According to Laws of Hong Kong,
at the expiration of 5(five) years,the money will revert to the ownership of the
Hong
Kong Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
Consequently, my proposal is that I will like you as a foreigner to stand in
as the next of kin to Mr. Smith Lawrence so that the fruits of this old man's
labor
will not get into the hands of some corrupt government officials.This is simple,
I
will like you to provide immediately your full names and address so that the
attorney will prepare the necessary documents and affidavits that will put you
in pla
ce as the next of kin.We shall employ the services of an attorney for drafting
and
notarization of the WILL
and to obtain the necessary documents and letter of probate/administration
in your favor for the transfer. A bank account either a new one or existng one
in any
part of the world that you will provide will then facilitate the transfer of
this mon
ey to you as
the beneficiary/next of kin. The money will be pai
d into your account for us to share in the ratio of 78% for me and 20% for
you and 2%for any expenses Incurred in the course of the transaction.
There is no risk at all as all the paperwork for this transaction will be
done by the attorney and with my position as the credit officer guarantees the
successful execution of this transaction.If you are interested,please reply
immediate
ly.You may reply to my email box,
Upon your response, I shall then provide you with more details and relevant
documents that will help you understand the transaction.
Please send me your confidential telephone and fax numbers for easy
communication. You should observe utmost confidentiality, and rest assured
that this transaction would be most profitable for both of us because I shall
require
your assistance to
invest my share in your country.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks and regards.

I received this fine literary masterpiece today, this time there are no diamonds or even a rotting corpse.
This gentleman claims to be involved in the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas company, in fact he claims to be the chief accountant.
He and the Auditor General no less, definitely a sign of an honest enterprise, wish to use my bank account to place a "whopping" (his words) $20M in.
They, being top civil servants, cannot open a foriegn bank account; of course not!
Well that would resolve my issues with my underperfroming endowment policy! (see The Endowment Diary)
As usual it poses no risk to me at all. How reassuring!
NIGERIAN LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS
LAGOS CENTRAL OFFICE
LAGOS-----NIGERIA
ATTENTION:
RE: TRANSFER OF US$20.500,000 (TWENTY MILLION,
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) TO A
SAFE ACCOUNT
I wish to intimate you with this proposal in my
capapcity as Chief Accountant and in full agreement
with the Auditor-General of this company (Nigerian
Liquified Natural GAs). We scrutinised all records and
the accounts of awarded and executed contracts of this
company (NLNG) during the previous military regime,
since the inception of democracy in Nigeria and
carefully uncovered and mapped out a whopping sum of
USD 20.5m which we want to transfer into your account
as the beneficiary. It might interest you to know that
the Nigerian Liquified Natural Gas came into full
working capacity during the beginning of this current
civilian government at a working assets capital of USD
3billion and will definitely gulp more USD 2 billion
on the completion of the fifth part. You can
authentically apply for supply if it interests you to
be our client with full guarantee from me.
The money US$20.5m has been approved for payment by
this company, NLNG, the Federal Ministry of Finance
(endorsed by the Accountant General of the Federation)
and to be paid by the Apex BAnk of Nigeria under
contract number, NLNG/FGN/FMF/CBN/B2517/99.
As top civil servants, we are not authorised to
operate foreign bank accounts hence our decision to
use your account in full trust and confidence to
transfer this money outside Nigeria. We have accepted
you as our foreign partner and will regularise and
update the approvals to reflect you as the true
benefiaciary of the contract sum USD 20.5m (twenty
million, five hundred thousand US dollars only).
Moreover, it is pertinent to note that it is not risky
and does not require much engagements since we have
taken care of the deal in full capacity. We have
resolved to negotiate the percentage which you will be
offered for your assistance when we finalise on the
deal with you.
If you are interested in this deal, please contact me
through my email address above for more lively
information. Remember to give me your phone and fax
lines through which I can send you approved documents
for your perusal.
I am anxiously waiting for your response with hope
that you will understand the confidential nature of
this transaction.
Yours faithfully,
MR IKEM
