Hello, I am Miss Young. This story is based on a script
very similar to that from the Funsho
Kopola story. But in this case the scammer wants the fee up front. |

RE: UNPAID CONTRACT SUM
After waiting to hear from you or your Nigeria partners for a
long time now, I decided to make this direct approach to you in
other not to let it be as if I have anything in mind against you.
I do not know if you have asked yourself why each time the release
of these fund is approved, all of a sudden, the payment
will be stopped or one problem or the other will come up. If you
have not asked this question or you do not know, this is an opportunity
for me to tell you.
Some time ago, your Nigerian friend I mean the people that introduced
you to the project approached me through my dear Wife who works
with the federal
Ministry of Finance and requested me to assist them conclude a
money transfer deal they had with you, they requested me to assist
them by removing the
original contractors name, companys name and bank particulars
from Central bank of Nigeria (CBN) vetting computer and replacing
them with your name and your
bank details in order to make you appear as the rightful beneficiary
of this funds. I agreed on condition that they will pay me $100,000
as soon as
your name appears as the beneficiary.I did as agreed and demanded
to be paid but your friends started telling me stories. They even
told me that you promise
to send money to me. Do you know that up till now, I have not
received a single cent from them and have not set my eyes on any
of them.
Based on their attitude, I decided to stop the funds release
movement because I cannot be denied of my right in my own office
considering the risk as it
might affect my job. Secondly, I know the source of the funds
and you did not execute any contract in Nigeria, although I am
the only person privileged to
know this information and it is a fact. Why I am making this clear
to you is that I can see that you are still making efforts spending
money in order to
conclude this project. Now I am ready to forget the past, I do
not need the $100,000 any longer from you but a share of 15% of
the total sum. I need your
assurance that those your colleagues will be totally keep out
of this transaction, I know that none of them is aware of this
transaction after trying their best
to conclude it without my consent.
Finally, I need your promise that no official of the Central
bank of Nigeria will be aware of my involvement in this regard.
Now re-assure me that you
will be willing to offer me the 15% of the fund, that you will
assist my wife and personal assistant to establish a foreign account
in your country where my share will be lodged.
If you are ready to conclude this business with me,you can contact
me immediately on (EMAIL:beth_eze_cbn@yahoo.com }
().
so that we can have chat over this issue once and for all so that
we can move forward. But if the reverse is the case, do not bother
yourself to reach me.
Regards,
DR. Beth Eze

He is only focused on the $1400 fee, so this will have to stop. I ask
Yahoo to close his account, and I send him an answer, pretending to
have payed. The attached file is just a big programfile renamed to "receipt.jpg".
Dear Beth,
Your picture was a nice surprice. You look gorgeous. I think I saw
your picture before. Are you a model?
I had my friend Louis go to Western Union. I have attached the receipt.
Hope to hear from you soon, ...
