Scam Money Transfers
Example - Dankwambo H. I, mr_dankwamboo@yahoo.it
Did you receive an email from a "Dankwambo H. I" who
"informs you that the Presidency has stepped into the payment of your contract / inheritance fund". Now the scammers are trying to scare you into giving them
confidential personal identity information and/or money. It's the usual
"you-are-owed-money-but-must-pay-us-fees" AFF scam, with a twist - they're
trying to protect you from scammers! Yeah, right...
You might think it odd, that the chief accountant for Nigeria is
writing to you from a free German email account, and asking you to reply
to him at another free Italian Yahoo email account. You might think it is odd
that you are owed money for work you did in/for Nigeria, when obviously, you've
never even been there!
At least, we would HOPE that you would find this odd! In reality, it is all a scam. Dankwambo H. I (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.:

YOUR IMMEDIATE INHERITANCE/CONTRACT PAYMENT
RE: PAYMENT OF YOUR OUTSTANDING DEBT VIA CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT
This is to inform you that the Presidency has stepped into the payment of
your contract / inheritance fund. The instruction to this Board to
authorized your payment was given by the President himself Alhaji Umaru Musa
Yar'Adua following intelligence report on contract payment he received which
revealed that the lower offices and department including some departments of
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) are engaging in the practice of payment delays
through unnecessary use of bureaucratic office processes and imposition of
unauthorized fees. This apart has been
allegations that some officials of NNPC and CBN deliberately divert funds
approved with the name of a beneficiary to accounts that were not given by
the known contractor after the due processing and approval of such payment.
To avoid and curtail such, official misconduct and deliberate delay of
foreign contractorsʼ payment under one flimsy
reason or the other, the President of the Country therefore mandated this
office to raise contractorsʼ payment and
ensure that such payments are received by the contractor within a short
period of five (5) days from the day of
notice. Based on the information contained in your contract files and
records submitted to us from NNPC, CBN, and
FMF your name was in the list of Category A contractors whose payments have
been verified and approved with the
records indicating that your payment has long been over due. The directive
from the President based on all these
findings is that this office should make immediately uninterrupted payment
of your contract fund direct from the
Federal Treasury. Other offices including CBN earlier handling your payment
has been advised to hand over to this
office to avoid duplication of efforts, though such offices hesitate to let
you know of this new development.
In respect of this, this office held a meeting with the representatives of
concerned government bodies during which
your contract file and other information of your payment were submitted.
After going through your file a lot of
official irregularities, impending stop orders and complexities surrounding
the payment were discovered. This office
and the concerned bodies unanimously decided and approved that your contract
payment will be raised in Certified
International Bank Draft. The draft will be raised either in your name or in
the name of your Company as the
beneficiary. As soon as the draft is raised and signed off by you, you will
be required to present the draft at your
bank for confirmation and crediting of fund into your account. This will
take 3-5 days of depositing of draft in
your bank. Finally, I have tried reaching you by telephone but unsuccessful,
I will advise you to call me or send me
a fax in regards to this, so that I will intimate you more in regards to
your contract payment.
Reconfirm your details to me so that I can verify that you are the genuine
beneficiary of the sum. Further details concerning your
payment will be given to you once you contact the under signed on EMAIL:

This panel hereby uses this medium to congratulate you and heart fully thank
you for your patience and understanding
during all this years of delays on your contract fund.
Best regards,
Mr. Dankwambo H. I
The Accountant General Of The federation
