Falcons-Fan Lilburn, GA, United States 2019-05-04 17:33:07 Nigerian/419 Scam | Director Foreign Affairs.
The Central Bank (CBN) said on Thursday that swindlers using Nigerian names had extorted millions of dollars from people in the United States, Asia and Europe under the guise of transferring cash abroad.The elaborate fraud involves fake official approval to transfer up to 15 million dollars in excess claims on bogus Nigerian contracts as well as pledges to cut the claims amount for help in the use of offshore bank accounts. A CBN statement warned foreign companies and businessmen not to fall for the confidence trick, saying that the bank had been surprised and embarrassed by enquirers relating to the fraud. “The bank has no knowledge or record whatsoever of the purported claims or transfers, or even the related alleged contracts,” it said. British companies are being warned against a get-rich-quick scam involving thousands of letters sent from firms based in Nigeria.The letters ask UK firms to assist in the transfer of funds from Nigeria to Britain — by sending signed headed paper, invoices and bank account details — in return for a cut of the sum transferred. Instead of transferring sums, the UK firm’s money is removed by the fraudsters. Scotland Yard says that some companies have lost thousands of pounds in this way. About 25,000 letters are circulating in the UK. But the scale of the losses — which could run to many millions according to the Confederation of British Industry — is masked because some victims are ashamed to admit that they took part in such schemes in the first place. A recent variation of the scam directed primarily at charitable organizations and religious bodies overseas involves bogus inheritance under a will. Again the sole aim is to collect the ‘advance fees’ already described above. A new strategy that has also been used to defraud the ‘victims’ is to offer to use chemicals to transform ordinary paper into United States dollar bills, which would be subsequently shared by the parties.
