Scam Money Transfers -
"Unfinished Business"
Example - the National Security warehouse, Nigeria, Mr.Kally Maurius, Mr. Mandy Peter
Did you receive an email from a "Mr.Kally Maurius" of the National Security warehouse, Nigeria who
says
"The name of the Courier Company based in London is Air Courier International Ltd. Call me immediately so that I can give you the phone and fax numbers of the courier company in Italy so that you confirm when the consignment will arrive. I choose to do this for you because I studied your file and discovered that you have paid a lot of money before abandoning this consignment and I believe you will compensated me well when you receive the consignment..
and to contact "Mr. Mandy Peter"?
It's the usual scam of a self-described barrister, lawyer, "government
official" or even unnamed job, who claims that there are "unfinished"
or "unpaid" contracts owed to you for work you did for them.
Let's analyze this, shall we? Have you ever been to
Nigeria, or whereever they claim to be? Have you ever heard of them before?
Then either you are boarding planes, working and traveling back every night
while you sleep, or it is a scam.
Let's presume scam, shall we; as it is more plausible. Of
course, it is all a scam. Mr.Kally Maurius (not his real name, obviously) hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.

Notice (highlighted below)
some of the other
obvious signs that this is a scam are poor
spelling , use of free Yahoo/Hotmail/etc email accounts, proposals that make no
sense, etc.:
Scam email:
From: KALLY MAURIUS [
kallymaurius@yahoo.com ]
Attn:Sir/Madam.
This is to inform you that
arrangements have been concluded as regards to the shipment of your
consignment of funds to your country. I choose to conclude it and make sure
it is off already before contacting you. I found out that this consignment
has been lying here because of non-payment of shipment fees. This is why I
decided to use my connections as the Shipment officer in charge of the
National Security warehouse.
(This is where all the
abandoned consignments in Nigeria are kept at the orders of the Government
of Nigeria .) The consignment left Lagos Nigeria yesterday night en-route
your country via London, It is a metal box, silver in color with a weight of
about 150kg, the box is declared as containing diplomatic /inheritance
documents only.
The name of the Courier
Company based in London is Air Courier International Ltd. Call me
immediately so that I can give you the phone and fax numbers of the courier
company in Italy so that you confirm when the consignment will arrive. I
choose to do this for you because I studied your file and discovered that
you have paid a lot of money before abandoning this consignment and I
believe you will compensated me well when you receive the consignment.
Note: I know the content of
the Box because I could see the amount you are being owned by the Federal
Government.
This is why I decided to get
involved. You must also know that this arrangement do not concern all the
people you were dealing with in Nigeria before today as this
consignment/Payment has been surrendered to the Government.
Hence my involvement This is
the contact number of the manager who is the right person to contact
(+447031913872) his name is Mr. Mandy Peter; call him as soon as you get
this mail today.
I wait for your call or mail

Thanks
Mr.Kally Maurius.
