Subject: Nigerian Scam or genuine call for help?

Hi,

I received the e-mail below and am in two minds as to whether or not I should help their cause. Please advise..

Begins

The CBN Head Office Complex, Central Business District Abuja FCT.


Central Bank of Nigeria
Head Office Complex,
Central Business District
Abuja FCT. - Nigeria.
From The Desk Of:
Dr. Mrs. Juliet A. Madubueze
(Board Member).

Attention: Beneficiary ,



I am Mrs. Juliet A. Madubueze , Board Member of Central Bank Of Nigeria (C.B.N), I am Instructed to officially inform you that we have verified your contract inheritance file and found out that why you have not received your payment is because you have not fulfilled the obligations given to you in respect of your contract inheritance payment.
(seems genuine enough but i`m still not sure)



Right now we have arranged your payment through our SWIFT CARD PAYMENT CENTRE from European Union, which is the latest instruction from the new elected president Mr. President, Alhaji Umaru Musa Yara'dua (GCFR) Federal Republic of Nigeria.
( Alhaji Umaru Musa Yara'dua seems a decent enough guy, but..)

This card center will send you an ATM card, which you will use to withdraw your money in any ATM machine in any part of the world, but the maximum is Twenty Thousand United States Dollars ($20,000.00) per day. So if you like to receive your fund in this way, please let us know and send the following information as listed below :
(Only $20,000 per day, hmm..)



1. Full name
Timothy Wrigglesworth

2. Phone and fax number
0049 111 1111 111

3. Address were you want them to send the ATM card to (P.O box not acceptable)
PO Box 32, Arbragahnan Rd, Dublin, Ireland (Wales).

4. Your age and current occupation
(37 Newclear phizzycist and part time church organist)







We will forward your information to the director of ATM CARD payment officer Chief Dr. Josua Omuye AND GOVERNOR CENTRAL BANK OF NIGERIA Prof Charles C soludo (Board Member) upon our receipt of the above information. Or you can call him. This is his direct phone number: 234-8063028511



Note that the ATM card payment center was mandated to issue out $,8000.000.00 EIGHT U.S DOLLARS as your payment for this fiscal year 2008. Note that because of impostors, we hereby issued you our code of conduct, which is (ATM-1616) so you have to indicate this code when contacting the card center by using it as your subject.



We anticipate your total compliance to this message immediately.

Yours sincerely,

Mrs. Juliet A. Madubueze
(CBN Board Member)

Timothy,

As a fellow church organist I feel it’s my duty to advise on this matter, also remind you of your duty to tithe should you proceed with the transaction. It does strike me strange that there would be a limit of $20,000 per day however as that is hardly enough for a person as yourself to get by on.

I must say your opening statement of your being of two minds intrigues me, I have half a mind which could explain your additional mind as I am sure there must be others with half a mind also.

Not to beleaguer the topic but I would very much like to know which hymns are played as our small congregation is often falling asleep during the services. We replaced the steam turbine with a turbo-diesel power plant for our organ last year and it has helped a bit but with rising fuel costs we have had to cut back on the hymns played during the morning services.

All these are from “Nigerian Spam” saga.
Don’t send any money or personal information - not only you will not get money, but you will be scammed for sums from $100 to $2000 or even bigger ones.
