Senator Frank Udoma and the Senate committee on Pension, insurance and manpower development

Oh what a beauty! What a gem in the world of 419 scam mails this is. It’s supposedly from Nigeria, I’m supposed to help a shady chairman of some governmental committee to move 18 million dollars and I’m to receive a total of 40% of all that as a fee for opening my bank account for this transaction. And it is, of course, nothing but a redhanded old school Nigerian 419 scam.

Just imagine working for an organization named Senate committee on Pension, insurance and manpower development in the National Assembly of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria! Imagine the size of that business card…
