LAGOS - NIGERIA

Attn: Sir/Ma,

With due respect to you,I am sorry for any inconveniences or embarrassement this my letter of assistance may cause you.I am writing following an impressive information I got about you through one of my friends who runs a consultancy firm under NIGERIAN CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND INDUSTRY. He assured me of your capability and reliability to champion a business of great magnitude.

I am Mr. SAM BELLO ,the managing director of the above mentioned company. Base on the assurance given on your behalf,my company has decided to appoint you as our debt collector from our overseas creditors who owe us. The creditors always send us checks for our payment but foreign checks take longer time to clear and sometimes some of them got lost in transit and it becomes problem to us getting our money.

We have now agreed that any debt you collected on our behalf,5% is allowed for you as your share while the remaining will be rem itted to us through wire transfer on the bank account infromation we shall give for that purpose or via western union money transfer.

To commence on this deal,you are to send the following in your reply:
1. Name you want the cheque to be raised.
2. Direct telephone and fax numbers
3. Mailing address, Not P.O BOX NO.
4. Your company name if any or occupation.

Note that your duty is ONLY to collect money on our behalf from our creditors overseas. If you are interested,please reply through our secure email address. sambello_craft@yahoo.co.uk
Awaiting your positive reply.

Yours sincerely,
Sam Bello

Ugh....Nigerians are the worst with money scams. Period.

I work in customer service for the TOEFL exam (Test of English as a Foreign Language, for those that don't know), and we get scammed so much that we no longer accept credit card payments from Nigerians. If you want to test in Nigeria, or you live in Nigeria and want to test somewhere else, you must pay with a check or money order. No credit card payments period. Anyone in my office is literally shocked when we find a Nigerian credit card payment that has gone through successfully, and hasn't been charged back yet.

It's insane.....

i am surprised at the check or money order thing, too. i'd have thought it would have to be cash - US cash, non-sequential bills in small denominations... :lol: 8)

We don't accept cash for anything, because we don't allow our Paper-Based test centers to handle money. All exams are registered for and paid in advance, with all registrations being sent to our main offices in Princeton and Ewing.
