Nigerian 419 Advance Fee Fraud - Financial Scams Fraud
Nigerian419 Scam Alert
I am sending this email because I have been a victim
of a "419" or "Nigerian" scam.
|
The following people have been trying to get me to
pay an upfront fee before I receive my investment. They seemed legit
and caused me to spend thousands in attorney fees and hundreds of
hours preparing for this investment from overseas and now I have
found out that the phone number being used is not from the UK as the
person has said, but is actually from Nigeria and in addition I have
found out that his lawyer does not exist according to the law firm
she is suppose to be with.
I emailed the law firm because I was
suspicious and the owner confirmed to me that she does not know this
lawyer and in fact has no associated. In addition, she let me know
that she has also come to learn that this person has stolen her
company name and logo and has been using it fraudulently.
