"Scammers often rely on the greed and dishonesty of the mark, who may attempt to out-cheat the con artist, only to discover that he or she has been manipulated into losing from the very beginning. This is such a general principle in confidence tricks that there is a saying among con men that "you can't cheat an honest man." - Scams
This book is about dishonesty - from street level to Cyberworld . It describes the common scams in circulation today and their origins. 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 !

Subject: ABOUT YOUR FUNDS IN CBN

Attn:
I know that you might be surprise on this mail, but I am telling you the truth. I know that it is against my official duty
to release confidential issue like this to an outsider.There is nothing I can do to help you beside this; I am taking this
bold step because of my belief as a Christian.
What I want to tell you is about your fund with the Federal Government of Nigeria, there are a lot forces working against
you right from the last CBN Governor Prof Charlse Soludo and the current Governor Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi with other
Top officials of all the Commercial Banks here in Nigeria, they have been frustrating people by demanding upfront payment
from them constantly, If I tell you that they are using all these money you sent to them to work against you, you might not
believe it. But it is reality.
There is a way I can assist you get your fund without you paying any charges to get your fund, it is risky but one has to
take it, I have assisted one woman from Mexico with it, it worked out though her fund was US$2.5m-. What you have to do is
to open another bank account any where, if you can open it in another place, it will be nice, but what you have to bear in
mind is that you have to re-transfer the fund to another account immediately you confirmed it in your account, I know why I
want it this way.
If you want me to go ahead, let me know as soon as you get this mail, if I make the transfer into your account this week,
it might be next three months that they will find out and by then, you have re-transferred the fund into another account.
Get back to me as soon as you get this mail so that I will be in better position to know what to do.Get back to me on this
