Fraud email example:
From: JOY IBE <mrsjoy_ibe505@yahoo.co.uk>
Date: Tue, 11 Sep 2007 14:54:58 +0100 (BST)
Subject: Fund Transfer
Dear Sir,
I am Mrs Joy Ibe, personal secretary to Justice Binta Nayko and she asked me to forward the mail below to you
Please read
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I am Justice Justice Binta Murtala Nyako,a chief Judge in Abuja High court of Nigeria and my husband just became the governor of Adamawa State in the Northern part of Nigeria.
Given my position I will want you to exercise serious caution in this transaction if you accept to carry it out, as there are lots of investigations going on in Nigeria by the Economic and Financial Crime commission (EFCC), which has lead to the investigation and successful prosecution of many top government officials including the immediate past Vice President Alhaji Atiku Abubakar.
What I want to let you know is that due to my role in assisting the Independent National Electoral Commission of Nigeria (INEC), which is the body, charged with the conduct of elections in Nigeria;I ruled in favor of INEC on cases brought against it on the unlawful disqualifications of opposition politicians even when INEC should have lost the case since we had a working arrangement.
I have being approached by some INEC officials who informed me that after the general elections of April 2007, that there is a US$27M in an account in First Bank of Nigeria Plc, which they need a foreigner to assist them in claiming.
Your role is to put forward a claim as an unpaid contractor for the commission so that after the necessary approvals you will be paid the money as having successfully executed a contract with the commission by the supply of data capturing electronic machines.
I will work with you in providing all the necessary documentations while the officials will ensure the quick and express approval of your claim.
For your role the officials have agreed that I will share 40% of the money with you while the remaining 60% will be their own and you will remit it to them once the transaction is concluded.
Please do get in touch with me if you are capable and willing to do this so that I can explain in details to you how this could be achieved.
Utmost confidentiality is required
Regards
Binta Nyako
