Hi Lioness!

I've split this post off from the following topic in News and Annoucements and moved it to this Help forum since you have questions: viewtopic.php?f=2&t=2779

As stated on that thread:

Lamido Sanusi is the name of the real Governor of the Bank of Nigeria. Scammers will frequently impersonate him for their emails. As to how he got your address: It may be one of the same scammers who previously wrote to you and he's just trying a new scam format or it may have just been sent to you and a lot of other people whose email addresses were harvested from somewhere online by scammers.

If your email address is posted anywhere online, you'll get scam letters like these, just ignore them all and post them here to alert others. :D

By the way, I edited your email address out of your post above, that's one of the sure-fire ways to get scams and spams emailed to you! Don't post your address anywhere. :wink:

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
