Use of a Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation / Federal Ministry Contract Review / Tenders Board or Award Panel in Internet Fraud ExamplesPanel Proposition Steven Irwin sent this along 22 Aug 2001. BUSINESS PROPOSAL/RELATIONSHIP NIGERIAN NATIONAL PETROLEUM CORPORATION OPERATIONAL HEADQUARTERS LAGOS-NIGERIA. ATTN: THE PRESIDENT/C.E.O. First, I must solicit your strictest confidence in this transaction, this is by virtue of its nature as being utterly confidential and top secret as you were introduced to us in confidence through the Nigerian Chamber of Commerce, foreign trade division. We are top officials from the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation {N.N.P.C.} Federal Ministry of Finance and the Presidency, making up the Contract Review Panel (CRP) set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to review contracts awarded by the past military administration. In the course of our work on the CRP, we discovered this fund which resulted from grossly over-invoiced contracts which were executed for the N.N.P.C. during the last administration. The companies that executed the contracts have been duly paid and
the contracts commissioned leaving the sum of US$24.6 Million floating
in the escrow account of the Central Bank of Nigeria ready for payment. (1) 30% of the money will go to you for acting as the beneficiary
of the fund. These information will enable us make the applications and lodge claims to the concerned ministries & agencies in favour of your company and it is pertinent to state here that this transaction is entirely based on trust as the sole bank draft or certified cheque drawable in any of the Central Bank of Nigeria correspondent bankers around the world is going to be made in your name. Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter using my email address. Yours faithfully. Ayodele Segun On 01/02/02 a letter very similar to Steven Irwin's letter was circulating using the name Engineer Aret Adams with a phone number of 234-1-7749158 and a voicemail in California of (626)940-1240 x3791.

Slow Boat to China From: abdul kamal <abdulkamal2002@yahoo.com Sometime ago, a Contract was awarded to a Conglomerate of Foreign Companies by my Committee on behalf of the NNPC. The Contract was over invoiced to the tune of US$24.5Million (Twenty four million united states Dollars). This was done deliberately by my colleagues and l to benefit from this project. This funds are presently lying in the NNPC accounts having observed all laid down protocols. This surplus US$24.5Million is what we ask that you help us receive on arrival as well as provide an account for lodgement of the funds since it is forbidden for us government workers to operate foreign bank accounts. On final conclusion of this project, 70% of this surplus shall be for us, while 25% shall be for you and the remaining 5% shall be used to compensate either party should there be any expenses incurred. You should be informed that all arrangements have been secretly concluded to lift this money as a consignment along with a Diplomatic Cargo Vessel. Inquiries have showed that this consignment can be routed to Europe, America or Asia. This piece of information should however be kept to yourself alone as we are still very much in government service. Send me an email or fax immediately to let me know if you would be of assistance.

From reliable information reaching us, the issuing house is the National Insurance Corporation of Nigeria (NICON) and a mandatory 1% of the total contract sum must be paid for this bond for an insurance cover of 12 months. Being Civil servants who though are highly positioned, but grossly underpaid, we cannot afford this sum. Therefore, we have started an ‘under-the-table-arrangement’ for a less than the official rate, which may come to about $65,000, for the acquisition of this Bond Certificate, for a 3 months cover. This is our problem and we intend to face it squarely. As you may wish to know, the funds we are using as processing costs are short-term loans from mortgages, friends and relations, which must be paid back in 3 weeks from now. ... keep accurate records of your expenses... reimbursable from 10% ratio earmarked for this purpose.

FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA Presently, we have an application for the change of your account to a German based account. Please advise on your awareness to this matter. Most of these unscrupulous staffers however, have been arrested and deprived of their various duties to face their penalties. To check these fraudulent actions, we suspended the payment of contract fund via Swift / K.T.T and all our foreign Clearing Houses have been advised to stop further payment pending our final reconciliation. In consideration of the affected Foreign Contractors, the President of the Federation, Republic of Nigeria together with the National House of Assembly (Senate / House of Representatives) have unanimously decided that all the outstanding contract debts be paid in installments through our nominated CASH OFFICE or by CERTIFIED INTERNATIONAL BANK DRAFT. Based on the above and as a result of the insufficient fund in our vault, a CBN DRAFT of US$8 Million value has been paid in your favor from granted IMF World bank loan. In order to control safe delivery of the DRAFT, you are required to choose among the under listed delivery options. A. Beneficiaries to fly down to this office or in Europe for a direct DRAFT collection upon personal identification. B. By services of our dispatched officials for Door to Door delivery. C. By Order of Telegraphic Transfer upon the full payment of the transfer cost. Be warned that DRAFT should be cleared before the expiration of the value date. In view of the foregoing issues, you are advice to contact our Director / Head auditor, DR. WILLIAM DAVES via his direct self phone 234 80 33019594 or E-mail:william@management.com for further clarification. Besides, you are advice to stop any further communication with your previous associates. Best Regards, Mrs.Grace Awolowo.
