    Do people actually fall for these things?

    OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENCY
    ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION
    14A AWOLOWO LANE, IKOYI
    LAGOS NIGERIA.
    Motto: No Body is Above the Law

    FROM THE DESK OF: NUHU RIBADU
    ATTN: BENEFICIARY,

    RE: BE CAREFUL OF THE HUDLOOMS

    Following the recent broadcast of the president and the commander in chief
    of armed forces of the federal republic of Nigeria during the visit to the
    America President Mr. George W. Bush, his speech to the united nation,
    couple with recommendation and resolution of his last visit to South Africa,
    British, France and the UNGA United Nations General Assembly in New York), a
    total sum of $2.8 Billion has been mapped out by the SENATE to settle all
    outstanding foreign debts owned to contractor this year.

    It has therefore become imperative for us to explore our options for
    reducing our debt servicing policy to affordable and sustainable levels. On
    the order of the president as a mark of his reconciliation and image
    laundering exercise toward sanitizing the battered image of the federal
    republic of Nigeria abroad.

    I, am NUHU RIBADU Chairman Economic And Financial Crime Commission, a
    committee set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria under the able
    President Olusegun Obasanjo. The purpose of the committee among other is to
    investigate, verify and settle all outstanding debts owed to foreign
    contractors whose payment is overdue. During the last military dictatorship
    of Late General Sani Abacha, many abnormalities had happened in the Central
    Bank of Nigeria and Standard Investment Trust Bank of Nigeria where some top
    official of the apex Bank collaborate with imposters and abandon our
    contractor/funds owners half way with levies and taxes.

    Consequently, we received a directive from the office of the president,
    ordering the above office to settle all genuine contractors whose debts has
    been outstanding for a long time now. These are those who has shown
    sufficient proof regarding the release of their fund, And we wish to inform
    you that in our record here, you have fulfilled such conditions.

    But the reasons why your own Transfer has to be delayed is because, there is
    presently a counter claims on your funds by one Mr. Peter Woo, who is
    presently trying to make us believe that you entered into an agreement with
    him, to help you in receiving your fund, in his bank account in China. So
    here comes the big question. Did you sign any Deed of Assignment in favor of
    Mr. Peter Woo, thereby making him the current beneficiary with the following
    account details: Account Name: Indo-China Group Ltd, A/C #:
    USD114-102-5567-8, Bank Name: Standard Chattered bank, 138-141 1st Floor,
    Edinburgh Tower, the Landmark, 15 Queens Road, Central Hong Kong, Swift
    Code: SCBL 11k111.
    If you did not sign, nor authorize Mr. Peter Woo to receive your payment on
    your behalf, kindly reconfirm to us, your genuine bank account details, to
    avoid making payment to a wrong person,
    attempt to divert your payment to a
    new account without your knowledge may have been done by your local
    representative with the assistance of some (Standard Investment Trust Bank )
    Officials, of whom most of them are presently under our custody and will
    face prosecution under section 35A sub section 1-2-4 of the criminal code of
    Nigeria, pending on when we finish with our investigation.
    This office is glad to inform you that your payment shall be made as soon as
    this information needed from you is submitted, either by Telegraphic
    Transfer or by international Certified Bank Draft. We are sorry to inform
    you that the Federal Government of Nigeria had made it clear to all foreign
    contractors whose payment is overdue, to be paid immediately hence all the
    modality relating to the release of your contract fund had been completed.
    You are advised to stop any further communication with your local
    representative(s) any officials (s) department of the CBN or Standard
    Investment Trust Bank or any Government parastatal. This is to forestall new
    effort towards a diversion of your payment.

    This office supersedes every other department in the CBN ,every other banks
    in Nigeria and correspondence bank abroad and is thus responsible for the
    final payment. The consequences of not heeding to this warning would be
    yours.

    Although we have been able to come up with some good result about the people
    that have extorted money from you illegally and I wish to list them so that
    you will personally indicate them by writting back because we want to make
    your payment to you without any delay but we must surely deal and bring this
    names to book if only you will indicate correctly any of them.

    The names of the Touts that have been arrested are as follows:

    guilty he/she will go to jail for 25 years(twenty five years) as it is under

    names have once contacted you in respect to the your fund if yes dont waste
    time to indicate it immediately.
    We applogise on behalf of the President and the good citizens of Nigeria for
    any delay and lost this most have coursed you and promise that such thing
    will not happen again.And if you are dealing with any one of them regarding
    this payment we urge you to STOP because you are taking a big risk and you
    never find your money because your funds in the total sum $30,000,000.00

        I just don't get how anyone could fall for "give us your bank account and other information and we'll give you the $30,000,000 that you had no idea you worked for".

              I've always wondered why these scammers didn't at least hire someone that could write English reasonably well, so that at least they appeared credible.

                          Would anyone else really like to see a sitcom where some Nigerians try to scam people?

                              Heres whats sad. My wifes friend, who has 2 children, no father (he bolted), and makes next to nothing fell for this. They contacted her by email, she tried to get me to loan her 500 bucks for this scam, and I told her over and over it was a scam. She eventually found someone to loan her the money, and needless to say she got duped. It preys on people that have nothing and will grasp at anything.
