Nigerian scheme
October 21, 2007
You receive a letter, email or fax pertaining to money laundering. They may send your checks or money orders asking you to deposit them and then wire a percentage back to the scammer. The checks and money orders are counterfeit. You will end up paying back thousands to the bank. This scam mainly originates out of Nigeria or other parts of West Africa. The scammers will have a seemingly good reason for asking your help. Do not believe them.
