Nigerian fraudster gangs

Nigerian fraudster gangs

How to recognise correspondence from fraudster gangs:

Address usually handwritten
Usually in English
Impersonal address
Usually Nigerian or other African sender
Composed on obviously counterfeit stationery
Photocopied letters in bulk mailing
Marked with catchwords such as “urgent” or “strictly confidential”
High sums of money mentioned
Profits of 15% to 35% promised

Protection against fraudster gangs:

Never reply to this type of correspondence so as to ensure that the fraudsters cannot get hold of signatures, bank details or telephone numbers.
Delete emails or send letters to the Federal Office of Police (BAP).
If you have business relations with Nigerian business people, make enquiries with the Swiss Central Office for Trade Promotion (Zentrale für Handelsförderung), the Swiss embassy in Lagos or its bank.
