Complaint Review: SCAM From Nigeria With A Different Twist

The following is a different twist to the Nigerian SCAM which has been well publicised lately:

United Nations Diplomatic AgencyUN House - Plot 617/618 Diplomatic Drive - Central Area District Garki Abuja Urgent Attention: Sir/Madam, On Tuesday, July 15, 2008, U.S. Ambassador to Nigeria, Ms. Robin R. Sanders witnessed the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the United States' National Association of Regulatory Utility Commissioners (NARUC) and International Debt management Office (IDMO) on the issue of settling every pending payment. The agreement will organize and implement a regulatory partnership between NARUC and IDMO.

The United States Government is supporting the collaboration with funding through the United Nations Diplomatic Agency (UNDA). The United Nations diplomatic Agency is to investigate, verify and process any pending payments by Nigeria government. The United Nations (UN) on this day 17th of December, 2008 received a payment credit instruction from the International Debt management Office (IDMO) to credit your account with your full contract funds from the Nigerian reserve account with our bank.

This is to notify you that your funds have been programmed for immediate release into your nominated bank account but we can not transfer this fund direct to your nominated bank account, because we are having a little problem with International Monetary Fund (IMF) so our method of payment is by Diplomatic Courier Service. Be informed that every arrangement regarding your cash payment through diplomatic services has been made; note that your funds have been packaged like consignment.

Note that the Diplomatic Agency has to move down to your Country in order to deliver the Consignment to your doorstep. For security reason you are advice to follow the rules and regulation of the diplomats for easy collection of the consignment, you have to welcome the diplomatic agent, to enable them deliver the Consignment to you immediately, be informed that as soon as the diplomats obtain the above name certificate they will deliver the Consignment to your door step.

This consignment have been registered with FBI and there is no course for alarm because this is the best way that you can get your fund without any problem due to the numerous scam activities on the internet, it is not safe to send one bank information anymore, so that is why we choose this method to effect your contract payment through a consignment and you are advice to provide all information so that there will not be any further delay in your payment. We are sorry for the delays in your contract payment please bear with us. However, you are to reconfirm to us the following information so that the consignment does not go to the wrong person.

Your Full Name & Address: ________________________Name of City of Residence: ____________________Country: _______________________________________Direct Telephone Number: ______________________Mobile Number: _________________________________Occupation:___________________________________

Immediately the above information is received, I shall further direct you on how the fund shall be delivered to you through our diplomat service. Also all documents will be released to you to protect you from any breach of law. Note that this payment will commence immediately I receive your information. This is to remind you that they have a transit to London and will finally arrive at your Country as the last destination on their diplomatic travel route this week. Yours in service, Mr. Peter AndersonHead, United Nations Diplomatic Agency (UNDA

What seems consistent between all of these SCAMs is the information they are asking you to supply. It is enough to track down your confidential information, the grammer is bad, and they have very specific requirements for you to do to get the money promised. In the end you need to provide some money with the promise of getting a lot of money. What you end up with is empty pockets without any return.

I'm not quite sure why legal action has not been taken but I'm sure it's hard to track these people based on the ease of exchanging identities over the internet. OUR ONLY PROTECTION IS TO USE RIPOFF REPORT or another agency like them to ensure that everyone makes informed decisions!
