Paper - Nigerian Scam
 

I hold in my hands an actual, physical letter, of the Nigerian Scam.

Who sends these as an actual letter?

Well, they did not know your FAX number, so they had to mail it!

Old school analog.

Maybe people have gotten wise to the crap email, so one of them has decided to branch out. A for effort. hahahah

Is it still full of spelling and/or grammar mistakes and ridiculous claims that almost no one would believe?

Nigerians, maybe?

Actually, it was sent from Canada and he claims it is a Canadian bank.

I used to get them a lot before I was connected to the internet.

A local couple were scammed out of $75,000.

They were closing on their new house. Their bank sent them instructions on where to wire their escrow money. The day before closing, their bank contacted them to ask where their escrow money was. Turns out their wire transfer instructions came from Nigeria. The name of the bank, the address of their new home, all of it was in the fake e-mail.

Watch out guys.

Another reason to use a lawyer in financial transactions.
