Did you receive an email from a "Justice Emmanuel Ayoola" from "Independent Corrupt Practice Commission,ICPC" who
says:
Isn't it great that Independent Corrupt Practice Commission,ICPC
wants to compensate you? And to think, we thought Nigeria was poor, but they have money to give away!
Of course, it is a scam! And although "Justice Emmanuel Ayoola" says you are being
compensated, ultimately, there will be "courier fees" or security fees or
something that will require them to send you a check (which will be
counterfeit), have you deposit it in your bank, then Western Union money back to
them.
Notice
some of the other
obvious signs that this is a scam are poor
spelling , use of free Yahoo/Hotmail/etc email accounts, proposals that make no
sense, etc.:
