Scam Money Transfers
Example -
Independent Corrupt Practice Commission,ICPC, Justice Emmanuel Ayoola

Did you receive an email from a "Justice Emmanuel Ayoola" from "Independent Corrupt Practice Commission,ICPC" who says:

"This management is hereby to inform you that,out of our records,for the year investigation,it is dawn to us that you have been victimized by the men of underworld(Pretenders)."?

Isn't it great that Independent Corrupt Practice Commission,ICPC wants to compensate you? And to think, we thought Nigeria was poor, but they have money to give away!

Of course, it is a scam! And although "Justice Emmanuel Ayoola" says you are being compensated, ultimately, there will be "courier fees" or security fees or something that will require them to send you a check (which will be counterfeit), have you deposit it in your bank, then Western Union money back to them.

If you would like a step by step explanation of how this type of "Advance Fee Fraud" works, click here!

Notice 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.:
