The criminals send an email to victim, a total stranger, promising a check in reward for unspecified help in some former business. In the majority of the scam emails the sender tells you contact his "secretary" in Benin, but Nigeria and other countries also show up. In the most common version of email it mentions the businessman is with a new partner in Paraguay, but other countries are substituted too. Usually the amount of the check is $800,000, but it can vary.
If the victim then contacts the "secretary" as instructed, he/she will be told that the check is ready but the boss who signed it didn't leave cash for mailing it by courier, which the victims is to wire by Western Union (WU) or Moneygram (MG). It will not be mailed without payment.
Wire transfers by WU/MG are untraceable. You'll never get the promised payment while the real money you wired to Benin or Nigeria is lost to the criminals, who remain anonymous.
There's also a Western Union version where the stranger doesn't promise you a check but a pending Western Union payment, for which you have to contact (and pay) someone who supposedly works for Western Union (in reality, the scammer himself using a different email account).

Hey Cute Friend,
I wish to enroll eight young talented footballers from my Sports Academy to any Sport Academy in your country to help them up-grade their playing performance with the use of the training facilities which is absent in my young Sport Academy here. This initiative is courtesy of the $1.3 million the State Government gave to my Sport Academy early this year in my effort of promoting and uplifting sports in our locality.
So do get back to me if you will help me get a good Sport Academy in your country or if you will hook me with an Agent or a Coach who will help me get a good Sport Academy. Besides, if things work out well between two of us, then, they will be coming in three or four months time and will stay for two good years or less depending on their improved performance. This arrangement is based on my agreement with the State Government based on the fact
that i told them that my young sports Academy is affiliated to a foreign Sports Academy in your country which actually motivated them in sponsoring us with that fund ($1.3 million).
So please help me with;
1. The total cost of the Eight players in term of their;
a. Accommodation.
b. Feeding.
c. Training fees.
and any other cost i might not know. Meanwhile, how much do you think will cover up the whole cost of the eight players for two years?
I estimated something close to six hundred thousand USD or less for it. Though not quite sure because i have not handle such a big Game trip before and can not rightly estimate the actual cost. I was only lucky to get the fund from the State Government this year through the help of some top State Government Officials who happen to be my good friends.
Besides, i will still need assurance from you that you will take good care of them when they arrive because they are still young (11-14 yrs) and have not been to your country before. I need their protection because i hope to make good money from them after their training because already some clubs have started bidding for each of them but i still want them to get a little more expose to international training and a little more mature before selling them out OK.
Hence, be assured that the cost is not the problem because i am ready to spend good money on them but assurance from you that you will take good care of them and offer them the comfortability they need to enable them improve in their training and performance.
Meanwhile, you should understand that the person who introduced you to me assured me that you are a good Sports lover and very capable of helping me get a good Sports Academy in your country where the players can train well. He also told me that I should rely on you 100% without fear. So please don't fail me.
Therefore, do to my urgent business trip which i am already out for inaddition to meeting up with the time period needed for these players training as agreed with the sponsors, i have this morning with big trust on you signed a Cashier's Cheque of $1,000,000.00 (one million USD) in your name and i have instructed and directed my senior secretary Mr.Remond Foggbi to send it to you. I decided to offer you the whole one million USD out of the $1.3 million the State Government gave to the Sports Academy early this year before traveling this morning to be sure you have no hitch in making the preparation ready before my coming back in months time when i hope my players will be leaving for the training camp.
Besides, i want you to take 30% of the fund to enable you cover any personal cost you might have taken in the process of carrying out the assignment and use the rest for the task we agreed on. You should better understand also that if we succeed in getting this dream achieved then the possibility of getting another good fund from the State Government next year will be released because there are still more other talented players in my sports Academy to market out. So let us work together with your total wiliness and commitment.
Further, be well inform that do to the serious nature of the business engagement that i would not be attending to my e-mail or take any phone calls from today onward but I will be sending you e-mail from time to time to know if you have received the cheque and how far you have gone with the arrangement.
So dear, if the above Terms and Conditions stated above which is 100% risk free is acceptable to you, then feel free to contact my humble secretary with the contact address where you want him to direct the cheque which i have already signed in your name to you. He is Mr.Remond foggbi. Email - ([email protected]) or([email protected]) ... His Phone number is; (+2348062827947)
Note that our website (www.boldbullsports.com) is no more functional. We are developing a better one to international standard. Do bear with us.
Thanks for your anticipated co-operation. I remain grateful.
How was the weather!
My Regards,
Sir.Adams Williams.(MD)
