Hello I received this email and haven't seen one like this before so I thought I'd post it and give everyone the heads up.

Hi Youjo king, welcome to scamwarners.

Thanks for posting the mail, but instead of taking a screenshot and posting it as an image, could you please just copy/paste the text and email address of the scammer? When posted in this form, it can't be picked up by search engines which is the purpose of it all :)

If you have any questions, just ask!

In the course of our investigations, we also discovered that there are different accounts submitted for your payment by your local representatives in conjunction with the KTT Director, Central Bank of Nigeria. We do not know into which account to effect your payment.
This is the bank account that has been presented to us for the transfer of the fund.

ACCOUNT NAME:CHARLES M.CRAWFORD

1. Did you broker your debt to one MR. CHARLES M. CRAWFORD of United State of America, who's Passport Photograph is attached below to claim and receive the payment on your behalf?
2. Did you sign any Deed of Assignment in his favor, thereby making him the current beneficiary with the above given account details.
You are required as a matter of urgency to confirm the legitimacy of the above claim and kindly give us reasons you decided to effect the above Change of Account. If you are not aware of this claim,please confirm to us immediately by stating your authentic account details and inheritance amount for immediate activation and accreditation. Also required are documents authenticating your claim?

Due to the long delay this payment has suffered, be rest assured that immediately these payment irregularities are cleared, you would receive your fund remittance analysis for clearance of funds into your designated account. Note that we are bound to recognize MR.CHARLES M.CRAWFORD'S claim, if you failed to promptly respond to this inquiry following the Deed of Assignment he submitted to claim this payment,we shall commence facilitation of the inheritance to his account.
