Union Bank Of Nigeria fraud and ripoff Port Harcourt Internet
This is the report I received which is a fraud.
Dear
When you read this mail, it will be your decision to either accept or decline my proposal to you,what ever decision you make,you stand no risk as every aspect of this proposal has been well mapped out.
I am an an accountant with the union bank of Nigeria and account officer to most expartriates that have an investment with the bank,it is my duty to assist the government in forclosing investments of expartriates that thier family can not be traced to return this investments to.
In my portfolio, I have an investment of a mr Andrew Blockburger; this is valued as of today 5.6 million usd. He died in port harcourt, in a helopcoter crash in the year 2001. Mrs Blockburger died in the crash too. Efforts have been made by the management of my bank to trace any living relative of the deceased. This has not been possible as the form showed no children and the wife as next of kin, the Ukraine Embassy,has no record of any existing relative.
The option left to the management of the bank is to forclose the domiciliary account, and return the money to the fedral government of Nigeria if I do not come up with a next of kin to claim this money.
To this effect, I as the account officer to this account and my Colleagues, will want you to stand in as a distant relative to the deceased since you have the same surname. If you accept my proposal, an attorney/Lawyer will be appointed in respect of this transaction and all documents and proofs to enable you get the funds will be carefully worked out on our receiving your consent to this proposal.
The Attorney/Lawyer would immediately obtain for an order of mandamus from the Federal High Court of Justice on your behalf recognizing you as a bona-fide relative to the deceased and subsequent apply for the release of the funds to you as the beneficiary, through the appropriate quaters involved.
All information required to conclude this transaction will be provided by me. I am assuring you that this is a risk free venture to both parties. Please, if you accept this proposal or have any question to ask, please, get to me on this email. I AWAIT YOUR REPLY.

You will keep getting e-mails like this, even if you block them. The FTC has been monitoring them for some time. What they do is, get account information from you, then tell you they're moving such and such into your account. They're computers are made to look like they've moved it, yet you never see a dime. Why do they do this, they are in deep with dirtymoney and have to keep it moving.
The FTC's wbsite has some good information on them. Forward that e-mail to uce@ftc.gov
