Re: Scam alert -- A letter from Nigeria

In Europe it’s called “Nigeria Connection”. Throw away anything what looks
like an “Nigerian offer” to make a lot of money or hand over the documents
to your local anti-crime organisations in your country. If the NC rings you
up – hang up immediately. DON'T RESPOND TO ANY fax, email or letter. For
more details how they are operating take a look at the book “International
Financial Fraud” published in 1997 from the Austrian Bankers / Private
Bankers Association. It is published in English and German and will be
published in Polish, Bulgarian and Ukraine language.

Betreff: Scam alert -- A letter from Nigeria


Not to imply anyone on this list would be so gullible to fall for this, but
you may know someone who is....

Attached below is an "urgent" letter I recently received.  Essentially, it
is requesting that I reveal my bank account numbers to someone in Nigeria,
and in exchange, I can claim my share in millions of dollars.

What's scary is that some suckers will fall for this.

For a good laugh at how blatant this scam is, here's the letter for your
amusement.
