Documentary about Nigerian scams

by chance I found out about the documentary and research on nigerian scams that a television network did and posted these videos on the blog as additional sources of information. Enjoy scammers on action and with handcuffs! Yo dude










having watched the music videoclip and seen the "esteem" these people have in their country as well as the "billions" of $$ they make scamming americans and of course others I kinda think my efforts are rather futile. Its really a pity.

From: Dr. Saleem Zakaraia

African Development Bank
Burkina Faso (ADB)
Ouagadougou - Burkina Faso.

Dear friend,

I am writing to seek your cooperation over this business, Please due welcome this letter.
I am Dr. Saleem Zakaraia, the director of the accounts & auditing dept .at the African Development Bank Ouagadougou-west Africa . (A D B). With due respect, I have decided to contact you on a business transaction that will be beneficial to both of us.

At the bank's last accounts/auditing evaluations, my staffs came across an old account which was being maintained by a foreign client who we learnt was among the deceased passengers of motor accident on November. 2003, the deceased was unable to run this account since his death. The account has remained dormant without the knowledge of his family since it was put in a safe deposit account in the bank for future investment by the client.

Since his demise, even the members of his family haven't applied for claims over this fund and it has been in the safe deposit account until I discovered that it cannot be claimed since our client is a foreign national and we are sure that he has no next of kin here to file claims over the money. As the director of the department, this discovery was brought to my office so as to decide what is to be done. I decided to seek ways through which to transfer this money out of the bank and out of the country too.

The total amount in the account is Ten million five hundred thousand dollars (USD 10,500,000.00).with my positions as staffs of the bank, I am handicapped because I cannot operate foreign accounts and cannot lay bonafide claim over this money. The client was a foreign national and you will only be asked to act as his next of kin and I will supply you with all the necessary information and bank data to assist you in being able to transfer this money to any bank of your choice where this money could be transferred into.

The total sum will be shared as follows: 50% for me, 50% for you and expenses incidental occur during the transfer will be incur by both of us. The transfer is risk free on both sides hence you are going to follow my instruction till the fund transfer to your account.

Since I work in this bank that is why you should be confident in the success of this transaction because you will be updated with information as at when desired.
I will wish you to keep this transaction secret and confidential as I am hoping to retire with my share of this money at the end of transaction which will be when this money is safety in your account.

I will then come over to your country for sharing according to the previously agreed percentages. You might even have to advise me on possibilities of investment in your country or elsewhere of our choice. May God help you to help me to a restive retirement, Amen.

Please for further information and enquires feel free to contact me back immediately for more explanation and better understanding .
I am waiting for your urgent response!!!
Thanks and remain blessed.
Dr. Saleem Zakaraia.

So follow my advice immediately and fill the text of application form with your bank details information as I told you before and send it to the bank director office through the email address, because you don’t have time to delay in this matter to send your application form to the bank, because the bank said that if the fund is not claim out of the bank this year 2010, the fund will go into their government bank account in Burkina Faso, because am worried since the fund 10.5 million we dollars is not yet transfer out of the bank, beaus am waiting to hear from you immediately that the application form has been sent to the bank as directed, so that my mind will be at rest.

Thank you.

new craiglist nigerian scamer

[Update: This one is amazing! They must send so many emails to so may people they dont even remember who they send emails to. This particular one, asked me again about the same item a week later from a somewhat different email address. Perhaps webmail companies, should consider limiting the access of their services for individuals in Nigeria.]

This scammer from Craigslist was a little bit different than the others.

He send me an email asking if the item is still for sale and when I immediately replied him, he added me in the Yahoo messenger and commenced chatting with me about his "interest" on the product!

Never had such experience before. But the rest was the same as the other Nigerian scammers and he wanted to pay via paypal.

This one used a more elaborate tehnique to steal. he asked me to request money from his paypal email account. Doing this he gains access to two things

1. My "real" details, or so he thinks

2. An entry in my paypal account saying that the payment status is pending.

The payment status is ofcourse pending cause I asked the money and he "replied" but in reality he didn't reply through paypal, and paypal is expecting him to reply.

So he is using this "pending" entry as an excuse to tell me that:

The payment for your Gumtree item has been verified and confirmed. But due to security reasons on both sides of the buyer and the seller the status of the payment is pending. Most sellers do not ship out the exact items as they have listed on Gumtree and we are keen on securing the Gumtree community.

You will be required to post out the item and email us its shipment reference number. We will then verify the status and contents of the shipment within 5 minutes with the courier service its been shipped through. Once we have completed verification, your account will be credited instantly.

Quickly call us on: +44-702-4058-733 to provide the shipment reference number or for any questions contact us via: (shipping_postman@representative.com) immediately with the shipment reference number so we can credit your account immediately without any delay.

Note: Do not send the shipment reference number to the buyer until we have confirmed the status of the shipment and credited your PayPal Account.

the other confirmation emai:

This is to confirm payment in the amount of £450.00 GBP received from Simpson Evans. The payment was made today and is thereby recorded in our system.Due to the high rate of fraudsters on the gumtree website, we have devised a means of protecting both the buyer and the seller should in case either parties do not want to send the item/s paid for or send money for the item bought. The buyer pays for the item through our secured website and the transaction is recorded but the sellers account is not credited until he/she has shipped the item bought and paid for. You can take a look at the following websites as to type of fraud recorded on eBay:

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/4386952.stm
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/4385956.stm

You are in no way advised to send a copy of the shipping reference to the buyer once the item has been shipped by you. The shipping reference is to be sent to us for further verification and thereby your account being credited immediately as soon as the shipping reference has been confirmed.
We hope you do understand our plight as we at PayPal hope to serve you better in future. All emails and Inquiries to be sent to shipping_postman@representative.com
