RE: FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION SEEKING TO WIRETAP THE INTERNET

This is an advise from the Federal bureau of investigation (FBI) Washington DC
in partnership with the National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C), and the
Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). We have been informed through our Global
intelligence monitoring network, that you were having a transaction with the
Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) in regards to the over-due contract payment
which was long endorsed in your favor. It might interest you to know that we
have taken out time in screening through the project as stipulated on our
protocols of operation and have finally confirmed that your contract payment
is 100% genuine and hitch free from all facet and of which you have the lawful
right to lay claim without any further delay.

To this effect, we advise that you go ahead in dealing with the approved
Central Bank office accordingly as we will be monitoring all their services as
well as your correspondence with them at all level. It might also interest you
to know that we recently had a meeting with the NEW Executive Governor of the
Central Bank of Nigeria, in the person of Mr. Sanusi Lamido Aminu Sanusi along
with some of the top CBN officials, regarding your case and they made us to
understand that your payment file have been held in abase all this while
depending on when you personally come for the claim. They further complained
that the only problem they are having right now is that some unscrupulous
element are using this project as an avenue to scam innocent people off their
hard earned money, by impersonating the Executive Governor and the Central
Bank office.

We were also made to understand that a lady with name Mrs. Joan C. Bailey from
OHIO, USA. has already contacted the Central Bank office on your behalf and
also presented to them all the necessary documentations evidencing your claim
purported to have been signed personally by you for the release of your
contract fund valued at about USD$8,000,000.00 (Eight million united states
dollars) to HER. The Central Bank of Nigeria did the wise thing by insisting
on hearing from you personally, as the sole beneficiary before they go ahead
on releasing your fund to the Banking information which was forwarded to them
by the above named Lady. This was the main reason why they contacted us to
assist them in making the necessary investigations to avoid irregularities.

They further advised that we should warn our dear citizens who must have been
informed of this same contract payment, to be very careful so that they don't
fall victim to impersonators. Should in case you are already dealing with
anybody or office that might be posing to be the Central Bank of Nigeria or
any financial institution, we advise that you STOP further contact with them
in your best interest and contact the genuine office of the Central Bank of
Nigeria (CBN,) ONLY with the below information accordingly:


NAME: MR. SANUSI LAMIDO AMINU SANUSI

OFFICE ADDRESS: Central Bank of Nigeria,
Central Business District,
Cadastral Zone,
Abuja, Federal Capital Territory,
Nigeria.

TEL: 234-1-7393100
234-7092-384-607
234-8038-366-048


Official Email: [email protected]

NOTE:
You are to contact the genuine office of the Central Bank of Nigeria ONLY with
the above information and then request that they attend to you payment files
for subsequent release of your contract fund to you. Also be advised that any
message that doesn't come from the above official email address, should be
disregarded for security reasons.

After contacting the Central Bank office with the above information, ensure
you follow their directives as that will further hasten up the whole
processing as regards to the routing of your fund to you as designated.

We will continue monitoring all your dealings with them as you proceed so you
have nothing to worry about. All we require from you henceforth is an update
to enable us be on track with you and the Central Bank of Nigeria. Lastly, you
are to keep this notification confidential until you have confirm receipt of
your payment, so as to avoid diversion of your payment. Thank you for your
anticipated co-operation in advance and have a wonderful day !

Yours in service,

The fake site identified in the original post is now dead, therefore future emails from these scammer will now be a less convincing one until they spend the time and money to set up a new fake site.

Thank you to the great site killers responsible :=)
