ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIME COMMISSION

This email is designed to have scam victims believe they will have their scammers arrested and their money returned, unfortunately that is not the case.

Instead, this is a scam email looking for past victims to steal more money from.

If you have lost money to a scammer, the chance of having money returned or having the person arrested is virtually zero, I have not heard of it actually happening, its a scam, please delete and ignore

I am agent Jerry Emeka of the Economic and financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nigeria. We are responsible for the investigation of any form of Financial Crime and apprehension of its perpetrators in Nigeria. We carried out some arrest few days ago related to scam issues and one of the culprits confessed that he had scammed you of some amount of money.

You must go ahead and contact our Operations department through the e-mail address provided below for more information on how your money will be returned back to you:

Operations Department: [email protected]

Go ahead and contact the department above for your refund.

Insp. Jerry Emeka

Here's another one from the so called economic and financial crime commission. This script begins with a warning and ends with a warning to make it look legitimate. And even the sender's email address looks convincing: [email protected] but it's not that difficult to change the sender's address. But the email address you're supposed to write to is an Live.com address which indicates the scammer doesn't have the efcc domain name. Note that the letter begins with Attention and not dear (your name here) although the scammer claims he found your name through investigation. And even though the warning on the bottom of the letter looks genuine this really is a scam. DO NOT write to them even though you have been scammed before, just delete this email.
