Ah, yet another "Prof. Charles C. Soludo" scam email... Did you receive an email stating that "Prof. Charles C. Soludo" claims that he has "been instructed by the Federal Government of Nigeria Revenue Office to leglly transfer your contract payment"? It is a scam. We can't understand why anyone would think this is legitimate.
This twit scammer decided he'd make himself sound like an educated professor and bank president by pulling obscure 50-cent words from a dictionary and randomly misusing them, along with his equally random use of capital letters and punctuation. Needless to say, his efforts were for naught.
Unless you are a contractor who has worked in Nigeria and is still owed money from the work, it ought to be apparent that this is plainly a scam. Also see related scams on this page and this page
