Nigerialainen rahansiirtohuijaus on yleisnimitys ketjukirjeille ja
huijausyrityksille, joissa uhrille lähetään avunpyyntö tai ehdotetaan
liiketointa jossa tarjotaan huimia voittoja. Yleensä houkuttimena on
varainsiirto tai muu suuriin rahasummiin liittyvä operaatio jossa
siirrettäisiin varoja pois jostain afrikan maasta ja uhri saisi osuuden
siirrossa olevasta kokonaissummasta. Peitetarinana voi olla esimerkiksi
vallasta syöstyn diktaattorin rahojen siirto, tai jokin muu syy jonka
takia olisi jäänyt huomattava summa rahaa joka täytyisi siirtää pois maasta.
Mitään liiketointa ei todellisuudessa ole olemassa. Kirje on joko tyypillinen
ketjukirje, jonka joku on huvikseen lähettänyt. Tai sitten petosyritys jolla
yritetään kalastaa hyväuskoisia joilta huijata rahaa. Jos uhri nielaisee
syötin ja lähteen mukaan liiketoimeen, häneltä pyydetään rahaa jotta liiketoimi
saataisiin alkuun. Ja jos uhri maksaa huijareille, huijarit vain keksivät
lisää verukkeita pyytää rahaa. Joissain tapauksissa uhri houkutellaan käymään
paikanpäällä jotta hänet voitaisiin kidnapata ja kiristää lisää rahaa.
Jos saat tätä kuvausta muistuttavan viestin, tuhoa se ja älä välitä viestiä
eteenpäin.

There's another variant of this hoax. It looks like that:
STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL
RE: TRANSFER OF US$21.5 MILLION (TWENTY ONE MILLION,
FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS ONLY).
I am a member of the Federal Government of Nigeria Contract
Award and Monitoring Committee in the Nigeria National
Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) Sometime ago, a contract was
awarded to a foreign firm in NNPC by my Committee. This contract
was over invoiced to the tune of US$21.5M. U. S. Dollars. This
was done deliberately. The over- invoicing was a deal by my
committee to benefit from the project. We now want to transfer
this money which is in a suspense Account with NNPC into any
Overseas Account which we expect you to provide for us.
SHARE: -
For providing the account where we shall remit the money into,
you will be entitled to 30% of the money, 60% will be for me
and my partners while 10% has been mapped out from the total sum
to cover any expenses that may be incurred by us during the
course of this transfer, both locally and international
expenses. It may interest you to know that a similar transaction
was carried out with one MR. PATRICE MILLER, President of Crane
International Trading Corp. of 153 East 57th St., 28th floor,
NY10022, T EL: (212)-308-7788 AND TELEX: 6731689. The deal was
concluded and all covering documents were forwarded to MR.
MILLER to authenticate the claim. Once the funds were
transferred, MR. MILLER presented his Bank with all the legal
documents and remitted the whole funds to another Bank Account
and disappeared completely. My colleagues were shattered, as
such opportunities do not come all the time.
I would require the following: -
1. Your Company's Name,Address,Tel.&Fax. Numbers.
2. Your Bank Account Number and Address where the money will be
remitted.
The above informations would be used to make formal applications
as a matter of procedure for the release of the money and
onward transfer to your account. It does not matter whether or
not your company does contract projects of this nature described
here. The assumption is that your company won the major
contract and subcontracted it out to other companies. More
often than not, big trading companies or firms of unrelated
fields win major contracts and subcontracts to more specialized
firms for execution of such contracts.
We have strong reliable connections and contacts at the Central
Bank of Nigeria, as well as the Federal Ministry of Finance and
we have no doubt that all the money will be released and
transferred if we get the necessary foreign partner to assist
us in this deal. Therefore, when the business is successfully
concluded we shall through our same connections withdraw all
documents used from all the concerned Government Ministries for
100% security.
We are ordinary civil servants and we will not want to miss this
once in a lifetime opportunity to get rich. We want this money
to be transferred to the overseas Accounts for us, before the
present Democratic Government starts Auditing all Federal
Government owned Parastatals.
Please contact me immediately through my telefax number whether
or not you are interested in this deal. If you are not, it will
enable me scout for another foreign partner to carry out this
deal. But where you are interested, send the required documents
aforementioned herein through my above tel/fax number, as time
is of the essence in this business.
I wait in anticipation of your fullest co-operation.
Yours faithfully,
DR.Sheik Alhassan.
Another variant of this hoax appeared in summer 2000. It looks
like that:
Subject: Cooperation
Dear Sir,
I am Dr. Chris Ogbe, the Chief Accountant of the Nigerian
Football Association, Parent body of the Nigeria '99 Local
Organizing Committee, an affiliate of International Football
Association (FIFA). In the course of our preparation to host the
world youth soccer championship tagged (NIG ,99) early last
year, huge sum of money running into millions of United States
Dollars was budgeted by the then military Government for the
successful organization of this competition. In the same vein,
FIFA made millions of dollars available for the same project.
However, in my capacity as the Chief Accountant, to both local
organizing committee (LOC), and the Nigeria Football Association
(NFA), I and some of my colleagues in sensitive positions were
able to influence the award of a contract for the reconstruction
and refurbishing of the eight (8) stadium used for the
competition. The contractor who handled these projects agreed to
give my colleagues and I 10% of the total contract sum, if we
were able to influence the award of the contract to their favor.
So many foreign firms bided for this same contract, but because
we knew whom we wanted the contract to be awarded to, we made
sure that the contract we had this understanding won the
contract. They have been paid 90% of their total contract sum
remaining the balance of 10% which we never wanted them to
collect on our behalf because of the fear that they might not
give us the balance of 10%. It is pertinent to note that, the
remaining balance of a total sum of twelve million eight hundred
thousand united states dollars (US$12,800,000.00) is laying in
the suspense account of the Nigerian Deposit Bank (NDB), ready
for transfer into an oversea account.
I have been unanimously mandated to seek for an honest and
trustworthy foreign partner who will assist in ensuring the
successful transfer of the above sum of money into his
Personal/Company account since the Nigerian Code of Conduct
Bureau does not permit us to operate a foreign account as public
servants. On the successful remittance of the fund
(US$12,800,000.00) into your nominated account, for your kind
assistance you will be adequately compensated.
Be rest assured that, the modalities and logistics towards the
successful transfer of this fund has been worked out. All we
require from you is your cooperation. This transaction is 100%
risk free. We kindly request that you accord to it the highest
level of secrecy it deserves. Your swift response will be highly
appreciated. Reach me through my official email address
fmysc@accountant.com, and kindly provide your phone and fax
number for more informative discussions. Upon your
acknowledgement of this proposal, I will forward to you the
detailed procedure for the transaction.
Note that, this transaction is legal and free from all sorts of
risk and trouble. It does not contravene the laws of my country
nor any International laws, hence the whole approval for the
transfer will be official and legally processed. This
transaction will be concluded within five (5) working days if we
follow it up give the serious attention it deserves. Awaiting
your prompt response.
Best regards,
Dr.Chris Ogbe
The below version appeared in autumn 2000:
BUSINESS PROPOSAL [STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL]
It is my great pleasure in writing you this letter on behalf of
myself and my colleagues.
Your particulars were given to me by a member of the Nigerian
Export Promotion Council (NEPC) who was at the Federal
Government Delegation to your country during a trade exhibition.
I have decided to seek a confidential cooperation with you in
the execution of the deal described hereunder for the benefit of
all parties and hope you will keep it as top secret because of
the nature of the business and the personalities involved.
Within the Ministry of Petroleum Resources where I work as a
Director, Project Implementation and with the cooperation of
four other top officials, we have in our possession as overdue
payment bills totaling Twenty Five Million United States Dollars
only (US$25,000,000.00) which we want to transfer abroad with
assistance and cooperation of a foreign company and/or
individual to receive the said fund on our behalf or a reliable
foreign non-company account to receive such fund.
The amount represents some percentage of the total contract
value executed on behalf of my Ministry by a foreign contracting
firm which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately. Though
the actual contract cost have been paid to the original
contractor, leaving the balance in the tune of the said amount
which we have in principles gotten approval to remit by
Telegraphic Transfer (T.T) to any foreign bank account you will
provide.
Since the present government of Nigeria is determined to pay
every foreign contractor all debts owed so as to maintain good
relationship with foreign government and non-government
financial agencies, we have decided to include our bills for
approvals with the cooperation of some officials from the
Federal Ministry of Finance and the Central Bank of Nigeria
(CBN). We are seeking your assistance in providing a good
companys account or any other offshore bank account into which
we can remit this money by acting as our main partner and
trustee or acting as the original contractor. This we can do by
swapping of account and changing of beneficiary and other forms
of documentation upon application for claim to reflect the
payment and approvals to be secured on behalf of your company.
This processes being internal arrangement with the departments
concerned.
I have the authority of my partners involved to propose that
should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your
share of the sum will be 20% of the US$25 million while 75% will
be for us and 5% for taxation and miscellaneous expenses
incurred in the process of the transactions which will first be
reimbursed before we share.
The business itself is 100% safe on your part, provided you
treat it with utmost secrecy and confidentiality. Certificates
will also be secured by us, here, which will clear the fund of
being a drug/laundered money thereby making the money clean
money, so that your authorities will have nothing to question
you about when the money finally hits your account. Also, your
area of specialization and the size of your business will not be
a hindrance to the successful execution of this transaction. We
have reposed my confidence in you and hope that you will not
disappoint us. Kindly e-mail your response to us to indicate
your willingness in being our partner and also in assisting us.
Endeavour to include your direct telephone, mobile and fax
numbers through which we can reach you any time of the day as
you are responding by e-mail.We will then start a full
communication with you through telephone and fax.We will require
your full bank details which are:
Bank name
Bank address with telephone and fax numbers
Your bank account number
The account name.
Thanks for your anticipated cooperation as we look forward to a
mutually benefiting business relationship with you.
Sincerely Yours,
Dr. Ahmed Tijani.

Dear sir,
URGENT INVESTMENT ADVISE
I am Mrs. F. S. Chroma the widow wife of late dr. Sanfrankoh
Chroma former minister of finance in Sierra Leone, killed by the
rebels during the outbreak of the civil war.
However, I am contacting you for my personal willing to invest
in your country and needed an advice of an expert of some one in
your position who has been in the business for a very long time,
as I was told that your country is economically balanced and
conducive for foreign investors.
The proceed which is about $7.8 million is presently in a
security company and it was the major cause of the death of my
beloved husband. My late husband told me that the money was
originally meant for a very important government project the gas
plant project that was originally planned to be site in the
north and later transferred down to the south. For this reason,
the northern part began riot, which it late generated to the
four years old war, which has claimed life of thousand of life
of innocent women and children of Sierra Leone.
For the fact that my husband was a strong person in the
government, when the war began the rebels demanded that the
allocated fund for the gas plant project be release to them
embark the revolution. But my husband's refusal to partake in
the no revolution or release fund to embark it for the fair that
the crisis will soon stop and the government will hold him
responsible, resulted to his murder by the rebels.
Before the death as if he knew that he will die, he quickly
arrange and ordered me to move with the children to a
neghbouring west African country where he deposited the fund in
a security company pending when the war will be over. The fund
was registered as personal effect belonging to a white man so
that the security company will not demand to know the actual
content of the luggage. Presently we were granted asylum in Togo
but because of the closeness to my country, unfavourable
economic climate and instabilities in its government
administration. I do not want to invest the fund here in Togo or
any African country.
I want to invest it in a stabilizes country where my children
will given a sound education. More importantly, I will want to
use part of the fund to buy house where I will reside with my
kids and the balance of it invested into a variable business
with your advice. I offer to give you 25% of the fund if only
you can be of help to a widow and my children. The only thing I
require from you is cooperation, a guarantee that you will not
sit on the funds when you claim, your full address, private
telephone and fax number to enhance the speedy processing and
arrangement for the delivery of the consignment in your favor by
courier.
Please contact me immediately by e- mail upon your acceptance to
help so that the security company will not confiscate the fund
as non-claimant luggage.
Yours Sincerely,
MRS FLORADYN S. CHROMA
Here's one more variant appeared in early 2001:
Dear Sir,
I am Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha, wife to the late Nigerian
Head of state, General Sani Abacha who died on the 8th
of June 1998 while still on active service for our
Country. I am contacting you with the hope that you
will be of great assistance to me, I currently have
within my reach the sum of 32million U.S dollars cash
which I intend to use for investment purposes. This
money came as a result of a payback contract deal
between my husband and a Russian firm in our country's
multi-billion dollar Ajaokuta steel plant. The Russian
partners returned my husbands share being the above
sum after his death. Presently, the new civilian
Government has intensified their probe into my
husbands financial resources which has led to the
freezing of all our accounts, local and foreign, the
revoking of all our business licenses and the arrest
of my First son. In view of this I acted very fast to
withdraw this money from one of our finance houses
before it was closed down. I have deposited the money
in a security company in Europe (with a coded name)
with the help of very loyal officials of my late
husband. No record is known about this fund by the
government because there is no documentation showing
that we received such funds. Due to the current
situation in the country and government attitude to my
family, I cannot make use of this money, thus I seek
your help in receiving these funds and pay into your
account for the family safety. On your consent, or
e-mail via the under listed contacts immediately for
further discussion and clarification. Bearing in mind
that you may assist me, l have decided to part with
15% of the total sum. Your URGENT response is needed.
Regards
Dr. Mrs. Mariam Abacha.
And another variant appeared in February 2001:
Dear Sir,
Good day and compliments. This letter will definite come to you
as a huge surprise but I implore you to take time to go through
it carefully as the decision you make will go a long way to
determine the future and continued existence of my family.
Please allow me to introduce myself. I am Yusuf M. Nguessoh a
native of Kinshasa in the Democratic Republic of Congo (D.R.C)
and the commander of late President Laurence Desire Kabila's
presidential guard.
I write you this letter because of the tragic events that
occurred in my country on the 16th of January. On this day, my
president was assassinated by one of his bodyguards Major
Rachidi and his vindictive son implicated me because of my
ethnic Tutsi Banyamulenge roots. Fortunately, I had prior
knowledge of my arrest and escaped across the Congo River to
Brazzaville and then on to South Africa where I am seeking
political asylum.
As the commander of the presidential bodyguard, I was aware of
the secret location of a huge sum of money which I took with me,
hidden under false identity, into exile. It is this sum of money
that I seek the assistance of a mature trustworthy overseas
partner to help me honestly invest abroad because of the
unstable political situation in Africa. However, you shall be
required to sign up a legal document with me even though the
Zimbabwe chamber of commerce and Industry introduced you as
having a very good repute in the world trade directories.
This money is exactly Forty Seven Million, Seven Hundred
Thousand American United State Dollars (USD 47,700,000.00) and
it is presently deposited with an international security company
but shall be released to you on request immediately we conclude
arrangements on how to move it out of Africa as if it is yours
to avoid scandals or risks on my part. I shall explain better
on hearing from you.
I expect you to help me to move this fund and secure it
irrespective of the nature of your private business or
profession. For your assistance I shall pay you 20 % commission.
Yours Faithfully,
Yusuf M. Nguessoh

ORDER OF PRIORITIES AS REGARDS CAPITAL PROJECT OF THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT OF NIGERIA. WITH OUR POSITIONS, WE HAVE SUCCESSFULLY

DEAR SIR,
I GOT YOUR ADDRESS FROM A BUSINES CONSULTANT ON MY REQUEST FOR A
FOREIGN BUSINESSMAN OR FIRM.
I DID NOT DISCLOSE THE EXACT KIND OF BUSINESS I HAVE IN MIND TO
THE CONSULTANT.
I AM A FORMER AIDE TO THE LATE PRESIDENT OF THE RICHEST NATION
IN AFRICA (NIGERIA).
I WAS MANDATED BY MRS MIRIAM ABACHA WIFE OF THE FORMER PRESIDENT
TO SEEK FOR A RELIABLE FOREIGNER WHO WILL ASSIST US TO INVEST
SOME HUGE AMOUNT OF USD.
THE ABACHA FAMILY ARE UNDER SERIOUS MONITORING BY THE PRESENT
GOVERNMENT DUE TO HEAVY AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY LOOTED. ALL THEIR
ACCOUNTS HAS BEEN FROZEN AND CONFISCATED.
I WAS VERY POWERFUL AND INFLUENTIAL DURING ABACHAS REGIME BUT I
DO NOT HAVE FOREIGN CONTACTS HENCE MY REASON FOR MAKING THIS
KIND OF CONTACT WITHOUT EVEN HAVING MET YOU BEFORE.
I WOULD WANT AN ASSURANCE FROM YOU THAT YOU WILL BE VERY HONEST
AND ALSO KEEP THIS BUSINESS CONCEALED FROM OTHER EARS. HOWEVER
THIS BUSINESS DEMANDS ABSOLUTE CONFIDENTIALITY IN ALL PLACES AT
ALL TIME.
THE MONEY IN QUESTION WAS KEPT WITH A SECURITY COMPANY BY ABACHA
WHEN HE WAS ALIVE, THE MONEY WAS MEANT TO BE USED TO LOBBY
PRESIDENT OF OTHER AFRICAN NATIONS SO THAT HE WILL GET ALL THE
SUPPORTS HE NEED TO PERPETUATE HIMSELF IN POWER.
THE SECURITY COMPANY IS NOT AWARE OF THE CONTENT BECAUSE ABACHA
USED HIS INFLUENCE TO KEEP THE CONSIGNMENT CONTAINING THE MONEY
AS PRECIOUS STONES WHEREAS THE REAL CONTENT IS AMERICAN U.S
DOLLARS.
I HAVE ALREADY MADE AN ARRANGEMENT WITH A BRITISH DIPLOMAT WHO
HAS AGREED TO HELP ME FREIGHT THE CONSIGNMENT OUT OF MY COUNTRY,
I TOLD HIM TOO, THAT THE CONSIGNMENT CONTAINS PRECIOUS STONES.
HIS DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY IS A GREAT ADVANTAGE IN MOVING OUT THE
MONEY.
WE WILL MEET AT AN AGREED COUNTRY WHERE YOU WILL CLAIM OWNERSHIP
OF THE CONSIGNMENT CONTAINING THE MONEY. I AM STILL LOOKING FOR
A COUNTRY WHERE WILL BE VERY CONDUCIVE FOR US ALL.
I WILL TELL YOU THE AMOUNT INVOLVED WHEN I HEAR FROM YOU AND
ALSO YOUR PERCENTAGE.
I WILL GIVE YOU MORE INFORMATION WHEN I RECEIVE YOUR REPLY.
REPLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SO THAT I WON'T CONTACT ANY OTHER
PERSON.
