This is a Classic Nigerian Scam Letter
#2Consumer Suggestion
Sat, March 02, 2002
What you received via e-mail is a classic Nigerian Scam letter. Nigeria is notorious for frauds and scams, which for decades have been ignored or even supported by its government. Most people mistake these letters as an attempt to get at their personal bank account in order to drain it. It's not--that's nowhere near what these sinister fraudsters want from you. Greedy people who really believe they are cleverer than the cons attempt to outwit the Nigerians by giving them a freshly opened bank account. These are the suckers the Nigerians want. Once they have your attention they get into a correspondence with the sucker and lure him out of the country to Nigeria--although lately many victims have been lured to England. Once they get you anything goes. Some people have been beaten within an inch of their lives and their families extorted for large sums to get them back. Some have been murdered and dumped. More recently a man committed suicide in a London hotel room after he mortgaged his home three times in order to pay the "taxes" on the millions he expected. He lost hundreds of thousands and couldn't face the family. A few years ago I spoke to a man who had been duped out of $80,000. The e-mail they had sent him stated that the author was a government agent who also worked for the Nigerian Petroleum Company. This poor victim actually told me he had been an employee of the Nigerian Petroleum Company for three years, which is exactly how long they strung him along. He was very deluded. They put him off with a half million dollar counterfeit check--he still believed in the fraudsters. Some people never learn. When you get one of these e-mails cut and paste them to the reporting form at http://www.ustreas.gov/. Dont ever respond to one of these e-mails. These people are not to be trifled with--they are very dangerous.
