Nigerian Scam Masquerades as the FBI
Posted: Sun Dec 13, 2009 6:46 pm
I have been getting some solicitations from a few of the Nigerian scammers. Jokingly, I responded, wondering what I would do with all that money, maybe a humanitarian charity could use it, Oxfam or World Vision, etc.. When I was contacted with the ruse that some extremely shady criminal had left millions and millions in a bank account, I responded that there were some shady Americans that don't trust the banks here and need to move the money out of the U.S. to an African bank.
A couple of days ago, one of the scammers masqueraded as the FBI. undisclosed recipients: ; Cc:
