My comments on posting and advertising NIgerian scams has been well documented however I felt I simply had to post this. Is this not the most brazen attempt at scamming ever?

now before anyone goes ringing interpol for confirmation or approval the give away is the telephone number 0701 are not hard line communication, they are mobile numbers obtainable from uk suppliers and can be made to appear as if they are genuine land lines.

as for the ministry of finance in nigeria contact, they majestically seemed to have moved their communication office to argentina

Thank you for bringing this great information to our attention.

I was present at a meeting with HSBC today and their fraud department.

Please be advised that a bank draft for 500m dollars is in circulation. It is attached to several documents allegedly signed an assistant director of the Bank who has been promoted and his bank number rescinded because he is no longer legally entitled to sign such a document.

The bank draft was issued in may of this year and the contact telephone number 44844........ are bogus. The are contact to a premium rate line which will tell you that you are on a waiting list and moving up the line. The charge on this line is £3.50 PER MINUTE. THAT IS THREE POUNDS FIFTY PENCE STERLING PER MINUTE APPROX 5 DOLLARS PER MINUTE.


The fax number is also bogus 447000.

Apparently there are quite a large amount of these documents all originated in the US in IOWA and TEXAS. All are noticeable by the false telephone/fax numbers on each document. Anyone who discovers or comes across these papers should forward them to their nearest HSBC bank as possession may lead to an arrest, even a simple presentation may lead to an arrest and a lot of very awkward questions being asked of the party in possession.

And to those who reside in U.S., and are not familiar with HSBC banking locations, here is the link that may come handy.

We should get Tiger involved in this thread, with his HSBC BG's from the "London Branch"!!

Chad, all ready to go. Once we receive an offer that is acceptable, it is all systems go.

I take notice that you have been asking for a formal proposal (if I am not mistaken, this is about the third or fourth time) from Chad. Did he fall sleep at the wheel?

Kid,
If this is in response to me, I emailed you and you never responded back. Then, after a delay, I saw you post on here about being in Dubai.
