Hi Steve,

I am sorry you payed money to these criminals. The chances for getting it back are very small. If you want to try you must contact the police.

Did you get an answer from EFCC?

I would like to publish the pictures of Mary Jons on my website to warn others. The pictures do not show the scammer. Most of them are men. The picture could be copied from a website for models.

In the future, when you receive emails promising you millions of dollars, or claiming you won the lottery, please ignore them.

EFCC (Economic and Financial Crimes Commission) is a Nigerian commission empowered to prevent, investigate, prosecute and penalise economic and financial crimes

IC3 (Internet Crime Complaint Center) is an american organisation that gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations.

Both of these organisations get very many reports about scams. I think that they are only able to handle a small fraction of them.

The check scam that Steve was a victim of is a typical scam.

Look out for these scams, and don't become the next victim.
