The fake "Central Bank Of Nigeria" email below is a scam. Recipients are asked to delete it and should not follow the instructions in it. The fake email is being sent by scammers who are attempting to trick their potential victims into sending them money or personal information. An advance-fee scam is a form of fraud and one of the most common types of confidence trick. The scam typically involves promising the victim a significant share of a large sum of money, in return for a small up-front payment, which the fraudster requires in order to obtain the large sum.

    Subject: After a serious thought

    Hello,

    After a serious thought, i decided to reach you directly and personally

    because i do not have anything against you, but your Nigerian partners.

    I am a Director in charge of Wire Transfer/Telex Section at the central

    bank of Nigeria, Sometime in the past your Nigerian partners approached

    me through a friend of mine who works with one of the ministries here

    and requested that i assist them conclude a money transfer deal, they

    told me to help program the transfer to you.

    According to them, they wanted to use this strategy to transfer a huge

    Amount of United States dollars fifteen million dollars($15M), the money

    has been floating in the CBN suspense account since then. we agreed that

    once i do this, they would give me $USD100,000.00 and give me another

    $USD100,000.00 when i release the fund to your account. When they saw

    that i have programmed it and your name has been approved among the list

    of those to be paid, instead of giving me the agreed deposit of

    us$100,000.00, they started avoiding me and resorted to threats. I

    immediately deleted the transfer code of the fund, which is only known

    to me because of my position, and released other contractors’ fund and

    inheritance payments without yours. They became angry. When they saw

    that their threat did not work, they started bribing other officials to

    get another approval to transfer the money to you without success. i

    want you to know that i am 100% responsible for the delay and

    obstructions because of their breach of trust.

    If you doubt what i have just told you, then consider what has

    transpired through out your claim process, they continue to ask you to

    pay money after money and at the end no result and they still tell you

    to pay another fee without any result yet, they are simply wicked. Now

    if you want us to work together, these are my conditions.

    1. I will have 20% of the money because it is only the two of us left

    for now.

    2. You will assist my son to open an account in your country where i

    will pay in my own share.

    3. It will be useless and mere waste of time and money if you continue

    with any other person, so we will conclude this transaction with utmost

    secrecy.

    4. You will provide me with your private telephone, mobile and a private

    email to facilitate easy communication between you and I only. If these

    conditions are acceptable to you, contact me as soon as possible to let

    us finalize, so that the funds can be released to your account after due

    protocols has been observed. But if you are not interested, i advice you

    to forget the fund and stop wasting your time with your so called

    partners in paying endless fees.
