Wood-Forest National Bank and Rene D. Graham Attempted scam Dayton Ohio
I have been getting e-mails from one Rene D. Graham who claims to work for Wood-Forestt National Bank Authority. This has been going oon for two years now and I have called the bank in Dayton, Ohio and havee been told on numerous occasions that Mr. Graham is not emmployed by thee bank.
Mr. Graham keeps asking me to send $290.00 USD to Chris Johnson in Lagos, Nigeria and stating that I will receive Twenty Million USD ($20,000,000.00) oncce the $290 is received in Nigeria. I have tried to ignore his e-mails but to no avail. Thhey keep coming, on an almost daily basis.
Someoone needs to check into this chicanery and get it stopped before someone faces total finaancial ruin.

Go to the FTC(dot)gov website and take a look at the section on scams. This is a popular scam that has been around for many years. I am surprised that the writer of the email admits they are from Nigeria! Almost everyone in the whole wide world is aware that Nigeria is the center of most, but not all, scams. Normally they don't readily admit the email is from Nigeria.
Calling Wood Forest is not going to put a stop to the emails. They can't, they have no control over some scammer in Nigeria or anywhere else that has stolen their business name to contact you.
You can contact your ISP and block the email, but that might only last a little while. The best thing to do is delete the email, don't discuss it, and certainly ignore the contents. You are right to not send them money. If you have sent them any money anytime in the past, then yes, they will be more persistant by sending you many emails because they assume they can get more $$ out of you.
Break the cycle now. Delete their emails.
