Fraud email example:
From: CENTRAL BANK NIGERIA <cbnnigeria_plc@yahoo.com>
Date: Mon, 10 Jul 2006 08:13:22 -0700 (PDT)
Subject: Re: 42 SPECTRUM IS GREEN TOP URGENT
CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA
TINUBU SQUARE,LAGOS-NIGERIA
FINAL CONTRACT PAYMENT
ATTENTION: Justin Thyme
Your email is rather uncalled for
Every government passes through trails, last summer the same was done in France and Belgium, it has nothing to do with incompetence, it is the government's policy and a measure to stabilize workers salaries and pension structure.
I will advice you to be humble and accord some respect to this matter because the transfer of your fund is the matter at hand
Attend to the matter of telex transfer slip or payment tracer, if this cannot be resolved then you have to initiate the fund transfer to Halifax Account coordinates
Since you are the payee of the fund, you have every right to demand for the Telex Transfer Slip from the BOA London
Call the branch where the fund transfer was made and tell them to send the Telex transfer slip to you ,then forward it to me
I advice you do this without further delay
Prof. Charles Soludo.
Executive Governor,
Central Bank of Nigeria {CBN}.
