One day in Lagos Island
One wonders about the scammers‘ business.
When our reader sent us this email, we in the editorial team did not know whether to laugh or cry.
The story is old and only adapted to the new situation, it’s from 2009.
The passport is by far the worst fake under the sun. The passport and the underlying facts were handed over by the reader to the police and criminal charges were filed against the perpetrators.
Of course, it is again about millions, about the good Lord, which the scammers always use, and a public figure. Who took the passport from whom there to bamboozle Europeans, we are not yet apparent.
It is probably a complete forgery to arrange an advance for the account or the notary.
With these sums, this can run into the tens of thousands.
Poor Mrs. Zainab Shamsuna Ahmed, who works as Minister of Finance in Nigeria, has had her picture on Facebook stolen and also her identity. She simply has nothing to do with printing.
What is surprising, however, is that Nigeria is not getting the problem under control to deal with these characters who send such mails. Therefore, as long as Africa cannot solve the scammer problem, do not reply. Do not send any personal information, no documents, these would be used for other crimes. There is money laundering and human smuggling. Never send money to the perpetrators, it would be lost. If the perpetrators put pressure on you as a „minister“, go to the police, they may not act today or tomorrow. But constant dripping wears away the stone. Move the mail to the digital ash box
