Scam Money Transfers - Banks, Bank Managers
Example - Mr.Chizoba Chinweike, FOREIGN DEBT PAYMENT OFFICE
Have you received an email from a Nigerian government official, "Mr.Chizoba Chinweike" at "FOREIGN DEBT PAYMENT OFFICE",
claiming that he has a "release of your fund" to send you?
Odd, that you have no recollection of this debt, don't you
think? And since when does a Nigerian official write to U.S. citizens... from a free

account!
We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but there is no Nigerian
Government
Fairy who is going to email you to say they owe you millions! It is a scam!
See the example below, an actual email from the scammer, sent to a victim.
The scammer intends to to get hold of your money instead, by conning you into sending money for various "fees" to free the
"funds in escrow".

Note some of the obvious scam clues that we have
highlighted in the email below,
such as excessive/incorrect use of CAPITAL letters, terrible spelling, grammar
and punctuation, the use of free email accounts rather than a domain and website that
matches the company's name, etc.
