<p>We have this 14th day of june, 2008 received a payment credit instruction from the federal Government of Nigeria to credit your account withyour full contract funds from the Nigerian reserve account with ourbank.</p>
<p>This is to notify you that your funds have been programmed forimmediate release into your nominated bank account but we can not transfer this fund direct to your nominated bank account,because we are having a little problem with International Monetary Fund (IMF) so our method of payment is by Diplomatic Courier Service.</p>
<p>Be informed that every arrangement regarding your cash payment through diplomatic services has been made, note that your funds have been packaged like a consignment.Note that the Diplomatic Agency has to move down to your Country in order to deliver the Consignment to your doorstep.</p>
<p>You have to help the diplomats to get (yellow Tag Paper) so that the customs and immigration will not stop them in Airport, for security reason you are advice to follow the rules and regulation of the diplomats for easy collectionofthe consignment, you have to welcome the diplomatic agent, to enabl themdeliver the Consignment to you immediately, be informed that as soon as the diplomats obtain the above name certificate they will deliver the Consignment to your door step.</p>
<p>This consignment have been registered with FBI and there is no course for alarm because this is the best way that you can get your fund without any problem due to the numerous scam activities on the internet, it is not safe to sen one bank information anymore, so that is why we choose this method to effect your contract payment through a consignment and you are advice to provide all information so that there will not be any further delay in your payment. We are sorry for the delays in your contract payment please bear with us.</p>
<p>However, you are to reconfirm to us the following<br />
information so that the consignment does not go to the<br />
wrong person.<br />
Your Full Name: ______________________________<br />
Your Complete Address:________________________<br />

Nearest airport:______________________________<br />
Working Identity Card/Int&#8217;l Passport:________________________________<br />
DO YOU HAVE HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT YES/NO _____________________</p>
<p>Note that as soon as the diplomatic arrive to your country they will give you a call immediately to enable you help them to get (yellow tag paper).Alsoall documents will be released toyou to protect you from any branch of the law. Note that this payment will commence immediately Ireceive<br />
your information immediately This is to remind you that they has a transit to London and finally to arrive at your Country as the last destination on their diplomatic travel route this week.</p>
<p>Yours in service,<br />
PROF CHARLES C SOLUDO<br />
GOVERNOR, CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA (CBN).</p>
<p>###</p></blockquote>
<p>Points to consider:</p>
<ol>
<li>Why is the bank address incorrect (and why is it all mashed together and in block capitals)?</li>
<li>The date referenced for when they received notification is &#8220;14th day of june, 2008&#8243;. This date is a Saturday. Is a bank likely to be working on a weekend?</li>
<li>They &#8220;are having a little problem with <a href="http://www.imf.org/external/work.htm" target="_blank">International Monetary Fund</a> (IMF)&#8221;. What has the IMF got to do with a &#8220;payment credit instruction&#8221;?</li>
<li>&#8220;so our method of payment is by Diplomatic Courier Service&#8221;. Similiar question as before really. Why would the <a href="http://www.state.gov/m/ds/rls/33832.htm" target="_blank">U.S. Dept of State</a> get involved in transporting something for a foreign bank, in a transaction that has nothing to do with them?</li>
<li>Do diplomats usually have problems at airports? (If a diplomat can&#8217;t get something past customs, then I know I sure wont be able to help).</li>
<li>Like the previous 2 questions, what is the likelihood that the FBI care much about minor consignments, even less if it doesn&#8217;t touch U.S. soil? (The FBI may, of course, be interested in arresting this scammer!)</li>
<li>What relevence is it to ask if &#8221; DO YOU HAVE HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT YES/NO&#8221;? I thought I was to receive (presumably) cash. Is this scammer looking to sell me a mortgage instead, perhaps&#8230;?</li>
<li>Why is the Governor of a Nigerian bank using a Spanish Yahoo email address as a reply-to?</li>
</ol>
<p>Always rememeber, there is NO MONEY waiting for you. It is a scam where they will require fees to release this &#8220;consignment&#8221; and you will receive nothing. Also, search the net for the name &#8221; <a title="Search" href="http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&amp;rlz=1T4GGLJ_enGB279GB279&amp;q=PROF+CHARLES+C+SOLUDO&amp;btnG=Search&amp;meta=">PROF CHARLES C SOLUDO</a>&#8220;, it&#8217;s a name thats been used in scams before.</p>
