Scams
Names Often Used in the Nigerian Type Scam
and Their Typical Scam
Treat this list as known scammers, but just because a name is
NOT on the list DOES NOT mean they are not also a scammer. Scammers simply
make up the names they use, so as soon as we publish their name, they invent and
use another name. Obviously, they make up names that they think will sound
credible to you, like "EU Monetary Dispursement Fund" (which I just made up!). For othergovernment agencies to report scams, see this page. And of course,
write us! We are always interested in
hearing about any potential scams!
