Dear Sir/Madam,


NIGERIA PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE ON REMUNERATION OF ONLINE FRAUD VICTIMS

This mail is sent you from the fraud/scam unit of the Nigeria Presidential Task Force on Financial Crimes (NPTFFC). This task force was set up by the Federal Government of Nigeria to identify and ascertain the veracity or otherwise of claims of victims living outside of Nigeria who were scammed of their legitimate and hard earned money by criminals posing as Nigerians and if the claims are found to be legitimate remunerate the fraud victims of up to 70per cent of the money they lost.

This is so in order to attempt to revamp the already battered image of this country in the eyes of the international community and by extension apprehend all those involved in these crimes in order to stop this criminality from re-occurring. We got your email address from one of the criminals who was apprehended in Lagos, Nigeria hence this email.

If you or someone you know have fallen victim to any of such scams please contact this email address (antifrdunitng1@yahoo.com.hk)

Providing these details:



Your Name………………………………………………..
Address……………………………………………………
Country…………………………………………………….
Tel No……………………………………………………
Amount lost………………………………………………..
Name of scammer…………………………………………
Email of scammer…………………………………………
Tel No of scammer…………………………………………

Please take note that whatever information is given to us will be handled in the strictest confidence and will in no way be made public without your permission.

  • Dear Sir/Madam

    This email is sent to you in response to the email you just received from a person purporting to be Gbajuma "Ralph" Peter, Coordinator, Nigeria Presidential Task Force on Financial Crime.

    In fact, I, Bmunagro "Kathy" Wombat, am the real Coordinator, Nigeria Presidential Task Force on Financial Crime. My office would never request the information you were just asked for. All we need are your bank account numbers, your social security number and birthdate, and a power-of-attorney form. Thanking you advance.

    I'm getting the Russian mafia ones in my inbox all day long now (advertising drugs and software). I delete anything that even remotely looks phishy...
