Report Nigeria Email Scam On Safelist

Here’s a Sample Email Showing Typical Nigerian Email Scam

Dear Friend,

Although this proposal might come to you as as surprise
since it is coming from someone you don't know or ever seen before.
But after much soul searching I decided to forward this business proposal to you.
I want a reliable person who can assist me transfer the sum of
US$70.3M(Seventy Million,Three Hundred Thousand United States Dollars)
into his or her Account.This fund resulted from an over-invoiced
bill from a contract awarded by my commitee under the budget allocation
to Ministries and the bill was approved for payment by the presidency.

The contract was executed,commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost
of contract,and US$70.3M (Seventy Million,Three Hundred Thousand United States dollars)
being the over-invoiced amount I deliberately over estimated for our official use under
our protocol division, civil servants are forbidden to operate or own foreign account.

This is my reason for contacting you for your assistance.
I propose the sharing ratio to be as below,

1.20% for you account owner
2.70% for me,
3.10% for tax and expenses,as may be required by your Government.

As you may want to know and make you less curious, I got your address from an
email marketing firm and I was the executive chairman of the contract Award
committee of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC).

This transaction is very much free from all sort of risk hence this business
was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and I as a staff of
the NNPC involved in the deal have put in many years of meritorious service to
the Ministry.I have been exercising patience for this opportunity for so long
and for most of us this is a life time opportunity that cannot be missed.

To get this fund into your account, we have to present an international business
outfit or personality.My intentions for consulting you is  for advice in possible
areas of investment in your country,upon indication of your interest to fully partner
with me in this transaction I shall relate to you all relevant information regarding
the transaction.

Expecting your response.

Best regards
