Yesterday, I received a funny-looking html-formated mail from a “Barrister Goldstein”, acting for the “Central Bank of Nigeria”. It was quite difficult to understand anyting of it, and it had a funny bang of officiality, with beaurocratic wordings, Nigerian flags, an official logo… and centered text with links to a website that looks as if it hasn’t been updated since year 2000.
Today I received the followup, which in part explains the first mail.
But first things first. Here is the first “official” mail, sent from a hotmail address (SIC!). I’ve reformated it since I don’t want to post their original html mail:

PAYMENT NOTIFICATION OF YOUR FUNDS.
Definitely, I am sure that the receipt of this email will be of utmost blessing to you. I am Mrs.Ngozi Philips, the secretary to Alhaji. Suleiman Barau, the Deputy Governor Operations Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
You are been officially contacted by me today because I was instructed to do so by my boss The Deputy Governor of The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), kindly note that your Funds were Re-deposited into the “Federal Suspense Account” of the CBN last week, because you did not forward your Claim as the Right beneficiary. The Central Bank of Nigeria is the parent Bank of all commercial Banks here in Nigeria.
My boss The Deputy Governor Operations Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), was visited in his office by three gentlemen today, really these men were unexpected by him because their visit was impromptu. He had to ask them why they came to see him in person and they said that they came to collect the Inheritance/ contract funds Bill Sum of $20 million which rightfully belongs to you, on your behalf.
At this development He asked them who authorized them to come down to Nigeria for the Collection of this Payment and they told him that you asked them to come and collect these Funds on your Behalf. In fact this was the biggest shock that this Bank has ever received so far because your Inheritance Funds is still in the “Federal Suspense Account” of CBN,yet you sent these men to come and collect this Funds on your behalf Without notifying us.
We do not understand why you should send these men to come and Collect your Funds on your behalf. If actually you want them to help you collect your funds, you should have at least informed him officially as the Deputy Governor of this Bank.
Note that they actually tendered some Vital Documents which proved that you actually sent them for the Collection of these Funds. Honestly, it really shocked him that you took such a decision without his consent.
Below is list of the Documents which they tendered to this Bank today:
1. LETTER OF ADMINISTRATION.
2. HIGH COURT INJUCTION.
3. ORDER TO RELEASE.
Actually, these Documents which they tendered to this Noble Bank are a clear Proof that you sent them to Collect this Funds for you.Finally, He, Alhaji. Suleiman Barau told them to come back tomorrow morning and they promised to come back. As the Deputy Governor of this Noble Bank, he was supposed to Release this Funds to them but he refused to do so
because he wanted to clarify this from you first. KINDLY DO GET BACK TO ME WITH YOUR TELEPHONE NUMBER SO I CAN REACH YOU AS FAST AS POSSIBLE OK.
Kindly clarify us on this issue before we make this Payment to these foreigners whom came on your behalf. Note that for security reasons you have been assigned a code/password which is {TT7270CBN}, Please note that this code is the reference number for your transfer and its being disclosed to you alone, guard this jealously and all your email response should carry this code as the subject.
Kindly direct your response to the private email address of my boss, Alhaji. Suleiman Barau, The Deputy Governor Operations Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).below for quicker deliberation and response from him on the release of your funds to you.

Please note in the correspondence that the logo is NOT of the mentioned bank. I received two such emails a few weeks ago and reported them to the FBI and local law enforcemnent agencies who track internet fraud. They are monitoring this situation and encourage people to regard as fraud.
I am getting 2-3 mails like this almost everyday from Nigeria and UK.
I got trapped and lost lots of my hard earned assets.
Now only I understand this is fake.
Writing comments is of not a solution.
I want to know where to report about this kind of Internet fraud
so the fraudulent be punished.
I will be obliged if you can let me know how & where to report.
Please reply.

i get some mails like that and i want can i get this money or this is funny man plz answer to me
to now
ok
i wait your massage
what is this ?. i received this mail two times. i dont know why there r sending this mail to me. i am out of there country and i dont hav any idea aout that. so any body, may i know that is true or is a make funny
I have recieved several differnt e-mails. From different people claiming to work for The CentralBank of Nigeria. I am currently working with the FBI in my country trying to make sense of it all I have been contacted by A Barrister he said that The high court of Nigeria had awarded 3.5 million to my fiance. How crazy is that.
I have taken to writing long drawn out Email to these scammers asking if they are stupid enough to believe that people will fall for these scams, or should I be indignant about their opinion of me, thinking that I am stupid enough to bite.
Them I tell them that I am a voodoo priest with very strong joo joo, and that they have insulted me deeply. Because of this, I tell them, I have placed a curse on them, their family and close associates that starts soon, but benignly, and grows into medical/mental problems that are all encompassing.
Then I tell them that I can remove the curse when they realize what it is, but that it should cost about 17,000 USD….
Funny, the letters stop:)
In one case, I have a friend that flys a 747 for TA, and he was flying to the Ivory Coast. I worked the idiot there and actually set up an appointment for my pal to interview the guy at some big hotel, posing as me.
Second sentence out of the guys mouth was that he needed $25,000 out front to speed the process up by bribing his bank manager. My pal Ron kept pushing this guy and told him that he had the $25,000, but that he wanted to go to the bank with him and actualy view the contents of the file…The guy said that he wouldn’t jeopardize his career with out the front money…it was bogus all of the way.
When Ron went back to his hotel room, it had been ransacked, but all of his valuables were in the hotel safe !!!
I think that the sad thing is that they musy occasionally score some cash because people place so much trust in the net. I hope that is not true, but what else keeps these imbecils going ???
I’ll go take my meds now

From: “Mr Elvis Adekunle” Add sender to Contacts To: undisclosed-recipientsI am Mr Adeakunle. a computer scientist working with central bank of Nigeria.I am 25 years old, just started work with C.B.N. I came across your file which was marked X and your released disk painted RED, I took time to study it and found out that you have paid VIRTUALLY all fees and but the fund was not released to you.
The most annoying thing is that they won’t tell you the truth that on no account will they ever release the fund to you,instead they allow you spend money unnecessarily,I do not intend to work here all the days of my life, I can release this fund to you if you can certify me of my security.
I needed to do this because you need to know the statues of your Funds and cause for the delay,Please this is like a Mafia setting in Nigeria, you may not understand it because you are not a Nigerian. The only thing needed to release this fund is the Anti drug/terrorist clearance certificate which will be tendered to any of your nominated bank and the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE(IRS)for clearance of the transfered amount in your account.
Once the Anti drug /terrorist clearance certificate is obtained funds will immediately reflect in your bank within 10 Minutes,the certificate is all that is needed to complete this transaction.
Note that the actual funds is valued at $15.5 MILLION USD and the president made a compensation fund release for all unpaid beneficiary valued at $10 million usd.

Eu também recebi esse e mail e eu quero o meu dinheiro!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tem gente que não tem o que fazer! Fala sério! tô num aperto danado e ainda vem essas brincadeiras de mal gosto.
Se for verdade me contatem to precisando receber minha herança
It is sad reading these letters
ok for the records so what is real from central ban ofd nigeria what ca
i am playing the game now, i just e-mail them and see what/how they reply. they are Nigerian Scamming Pirates, just like the ones in Somalia. These Africans need to grow a garden, spear a monkey, or transmit stds, but they need their computer/web access taken away.
Hi
All E mails above and E mails like these from any where are all scam and fraud. These are not necessarily from Nigeria. If you reply to them first they will ask your personal detail like name, age, address, Phone, mobile #, Job detail, banking details, copy of ID documents etc. Your personal information can be used to make fake ID of criminals. Secondly they will ask you to send some processing fee. If you send this money, they will runaway and you lose will your money. You will never get any ATM card of any fund into your account. Very esay to understand scam E mails like these.

All these are from “Nigerian Spam” saga.
Don’t send any money or personal information – not only you will not get money, but you will be scammed for sums from $100 to $2000 or even bigger ones.
I received an E-mail saying that I have $3,750,000 at the Central Bank of Nigeria. Do I?
I have been there! “Prof. Charles Soludo and Barrister Amino Dada” seems to be fully occupied with scamms in all directions in the name of Central Bank!
I guess all tranactions must be checked and dubbelchecked!
