Scam Money Transfers
Example - Dr.Ahmed Bankole,
a member of the Contract Review Panel, Federal Ministry Of
Environment (FME), Nigeria
Dr.Ahmed Bankole of Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Environment
wants to transfer $27,000,000 into your bank account. I'm sure this
happens every day to you, but even so, you may have been surprised, especially
since Dr. Ahmed never explains where the money came from or why he selected you,
of indeed, why he needs to transfer it!
Dr. Ahmed Bankole (not his real name, obviously) hopes to con you into sending money for various "fees" to free the fortune.
