419 Scam – The "unpaid contractor" scam

In this variant of the classic "419" Advance Fee fraud, the scammer usually claims to work for the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC) or a government ministry. Quite often the scammers abuse the name of CBN president Charles Soludo. The victim is to pose as a contractor who is yet to be paid by the government from a contract already completed. The victim is to split the proceeds with the criminals.

As in all 419 scams various obstacles will come up, and each and every one of them will involve the victim wiring cash to Nigeria by Western Union wire transfer or the contract payment won't happen. This game is repeated until the victim runs out of cash or finally realizes he/she is being conned.

From: Micheal Utomy

Dear Sir,

I am the Chairman of the Contract Award Committee of the Petroluem and
Natural Resources Ministry here in Nigeria[NNPC], for security reasons, I
may not wish to disclose how I got your email address for now.

After due deliberation with my partner, I decided to forward to you this
business proposal, we want you to assist us receive the sum of
Twenty eight million, six hundred thousand united state bills
(us28.6m) into your account. This fund resulted from an over-invoiced
contract awarded by us under the budget allocation to my ministry and the
bill was approved for payment by the concerned ministries. The contract was
executed, commissioned and the contractor was paid his actual cost of the
contract.

Now, we are left with the balance of us28.6m as the over invoiced amount, which
we have deliberately over estimated for our own use. Please note that the
law forbids civil servants to operate or own foreign accounts hence this
contact,we have agreed to share the money in the following percentages: 30
for you, 60 for us 10 for tax as may be required by your government.

Note that this transaction is very much free from all sorts of risk hence
the business was carefully planned before it was successfully executed and
we the officials involved in the deal have put many years in service to our
ministry.We have been exercising patience for this privilege for so long not until
the presidential announcement last week that all foreign contractors owed be
paid forthwith, this will enable the presidential tax force reconcile our
debt ratio with the outside world especially now that we are begging for
dept forgiveness from our foreign creditors.To most of us involved in this deal its a life
time blessing we cannot afford to miss. Upon indication of your interest to
fully co-operate with us, a payment application/information form will be
sent to you via email for completion.

Note that the following information: a) your private phone and fax number and email address
will enable us seek/secure approval of the fund from the concerned
government quarters/ministries within 3-4 banking days.

As soon as we confirm receipt of this money in your nominated bank account,
my partner and I will come over to your country to arrange for our own share
and possibly invest part of this money in your country.

Let honesty and trust be our watchword throughout this transaction. I shall
furnish you with some details about myself. Your prompt reply will be highly
appreciated.

Best regards.
Michael

Dear Sir/Ma,
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN

My name is Barrister Oki Michael Reyes, a solicitor and advocate of the
law.Five years ago I stood for a client who bided for a contract to supply
Aviation Gadgets to the Federal Ministry of Transport and Aviation (F.M.T.A)
in Nigeria.

The contract was executed and the total amount involved was $19.5Million.
Part of this money (10Million) has been paid to my client and ever since I
have been negotiating the release of the balance of $9Million which is now
ready for payment but Unfortunately my client died of heart related illness
on the 22nd of November 2004.The Federal Ministry fo Transport and Aviation
(F.M.T.A) need Somebody whom I can recommend as a Relative or Business
Associate in order to release this fund. Since I need part of this money, I
suggested that I present you to stand as a Business Associate of my late
client so that the fund will be released to you.

As lawyer and Advocate of the law, I will put all papers in order to making
sure that the law is not breached. Negotiation is open to you to determine
your compensation for your involvement in this financial project. You are
also free to ask questions on the area(s) you are not cleared.

I will be glad to read from you.

Yours faithfully,

Barrister Oki Michael Reyes
