If you get any email then you’ve probably received a copy of the Nigerian Scam Letter. I never would have believed it but it’s so successful that the Internet Crime Complaint Center, run by the FBI and the National White Collar Crime Center, assigned it its very own category among internet fraud crimes. The average median financial loss for this one is higher than any other type of internet fraud crime out there right now. Your average dumber-than-a-bag-of-hammers, I’m-gonna-get-rich-quick-investo... dropped a mere $3,400.00 (per idiot!) on this one. Some estimates say the total loss is well over FIVE BILLION DOLLARS world wide. Also surprising to me was the information I’ve posted below. The USSS would like to hear from you when/if you get an email from someone claiming to be from Nigeria who has nothing better to do with his billions of US dollars than share them with Americans willing to cut him a small check today!
If you haven’t sent any money, please follow step number one. If you have sent money, please follow step two and never ever mention it to anyone – especially during lunch.
Steps to take if you receive a Nigerian Scam Letter:
1. If you are a United States citizen or resident and have suffered No Financial Loss, write "No Financial Loss For Your Database" on the documents you received and fax them to the U.S. Secret Service Task Force handling scam matters at 202-406-6930 or 202-406-5031. Actual hardcopy of the scam document(s) is required to add your scam information to the Task Force Database.
2. If you are a United States citizen or resident and have suffered a financial loss, write “Financial Loss - Contact Me ASAP" on the documents you have received and fax them to the Task Force at 202-406-6930 or 202-406-5031 and give your telephone number. A U.S. Secret Service Agent will call you back to discuss the matter with you.

FROM: MR.FIDELIS ALOYE
E-MAIL:FIDELISALOYE@WEB-MAIL.COM...BUSINESS PROPOSAL
ATTN: PRESIDENT/CEO,
My name is MR.FIDELIS ALOYE , a member of the
Presidential
Task Force on Oil Spillage Clean-up. Early last year
there was a major oil spillage in the Niger Delta
Region of Nigeria which rendered over 70% of the
communities homeless.The contract was handled by a
foreign firm but because of the huge monetary profit
we envisaged we decided to over-invoice the contract
sum.Now the contract has been completed and the original
contractor has since been paid,but the contract
balance of US$38 million,which resulted from the overinvoiced contract sum that has been left in a
suspense
account with the CENTRAL BANK of NIGERIA,is what me
and my partners are planning to take out of the
country for ourselves.The problem is as government
officials,we are not suppose to own fat bank
accounts,talk less of having foreign ones.To this end, we are soliciting your assistance as a
foreign partner who can assist us and receive this
amount into your account. We are ready to share this
money with you on the basis of participation. We also
have plans to invest part of this money in any viable
business in your country under your care,as we are
nearing our retirement age.In any case, I received a reference of
you/organization
from the Nigeria Chambers of Commerce
and Industry 'Foreign Trade Division' as a reputable
organ that can assist us on this transaction. Please
if you accept my proposal do not hesitate to send me
a
fax on 234 1 759 0379 or send me an e-mail on:
, so that I can provide
you with
the basic procedures for the release of the fund.It does not matter whether you or your company does
contract project of the nature described here, the
assumption is that you won a major contract and
subcontracted it to another company, more often than
not, big trading companies or individuals of
unrelated
field win major contracts here in Nigeria and
subcontracts same to more specialized firms for
execution.BENEFIT: For providing the account where we shall
remit this money, you will be entitled to 25% of the
entire funds, 70% will be for me and my
partners,while
5% has been set aside to cover any expenses that may
be incurred by both parties during this transaction,
both local and international.Please I enjoin you to handle this transaction with
utmost degree of maturity and confidentiality because
I am still in active government service with the
"NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION". If I
receive your response on time, this whole transaction
could be accomplished within the shortest possible
time based on your interest and determination,since
the money is already in transit.Please, try to call me up to confirm the receipt of
your e-mail.The lines may be busy,but keep
trying till you get through.Yours faithfully,
MR.FIDELIS ALOYE (MNIM).

dear Sir,I am wenga Mobutu Sese-Seko, son of the late President Mobutu
Sese-Seko of former Zaire, now Congo Democratic Republic. My family and I now live in exile, in Morocco. I believe you are aware through the
International press how the European Government froze my late father bank accounts. Recently the French Government confiscated my father's Chateaux in Southof France. In view of this, my family and I are afraid to make any investment without a front. In this line, therefore, it is the wish of my family to solicit for a trustworthy and sincere person who will invest these fund under trusteeship. I am interested in making an enormous investment worth US$20Million in some parts of the world of which will be beneficiary to bothparties SOURCE OF FUND. Before the death of my father, he deposited the above stated funds with a security Firm here in Europe. Hence I am in asylum here in abidjan, cote d' ivoire. Therefore, I intend to have a front who will manage this funds and invest it into property development, buying of sharesstock in Multinational Companies and engage in non speculative investments and other relatedventures. As soon as I hear from you I will then aarrange a face-to-face meeting for us to deliberate on this investment. It will also give me the opportunity to assess your capability of handling this investment. Please, I will like you to send me your private telephone/fax numbers to allow me discuss privately.
Meanwhile, reach me on the above tel nor email address: .
Kindly treat this matter with utmost confidentiality.Best Regards,
wenga Mobutu Sese-Seko
