It shows how each fraud is perpetrated and how the informed reader can avoid or at least minimise their losses when faced with the scenario. If after reading this book you still manage to get scammed, you deserve to be put facing a corner with a dunce cap on your head and whipped with your empty wallet !

Ref/FGN/FMF/PRE/CONTRACT/832-2013

Dear Friend,

From all my official investigation in your payment file I sincerely wish to inform you that you are not the original contractor/beneficiary of the said contract funds because you did not do any contract here with Nigeria government. The original contractor has completed his awarded contract with Nigerian government long time ago and received his full contract payment before you filed in your application for claims on the said funds.

However the amount you are now claiming is an over-invoiced contract/inheritance amount though which has been approved for payment in your name and favor of your company but we cannot make any further payment unless you will agree on my conditions that this fund shall be a deal between me and you because the fund does not belong to you rather to my country.

Moreover there are few mistakes in you payment file such as the contact approval numbers and amount as mentioned these are one of the reason you could not receive this payment until this moment.

Anyway my conditions are hereby as stated below.

1). You shall keep this deal between me and you as top secret because I am a civil servant.
2). As soon as you receive this funds I shall be entitled for 50% percent of the total sum.
3). You shall also give me letter of assurance that you will never reveal this deal to anybody.

Furthermore if you will not agree on my above conditions I shall forward every information concerning this payment to the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), Office of the Presidency and Economic and Financial Crime Commission (EFCC), for out right cancellation of this payment automatically unless you will comply with conditions accordingly.

Meanwhile all I need from you is nothing but your sincere truth and co-operation so that I can tell you the next thing to do for the immediate release of the funds.


Be advised.

Paul Davies
