Did you receive an email from a "SENATOR DAVID MARK or DR BABA GENA" from "OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA " who
says:
Isn't it great that OFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA wants to compensate you? And to think,
we thoughtOFFICE OF THE SENATE HOUSE, FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA was poor, but they have money to give away!
Of course, it is a scam! And although "SENATOR DAVID MARK or DR BABA GENA" 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.
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.:
