ABUJA.
Telltale signs that this is a scam:
- The "To:" field is empty. This is typical for mass e-mails. (Note that seeing your name in the "To:" field doesn't mean that it's not a mass e-mail or a scam.)
- The sender address is hosted by diplomats.com, a domain that belongs to free e-mail provider mail.com. Anybody can get an e-mail address there.
- The British High Commission only deals with UK citizens.
- The British High Commission doesn't contact you by e-mail from Nigeria, especially not using an open/hacked mail server in Singapore.
