Really bad scam alert
I just got this in my inbox today. Is this considered spam? Sounds like a really bad scam. Do people actually go for this out of greed or something. Should I report this to someone? and what Dose "Will like to solicit for your assistance, but not to compel you to honor it?" mean
attn:
Will like to solicit for your assistance, but not to
compel you to honor it? I am Mr.Bello Galadima, the
Chairman of the Contract Procurements and Award in the
Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) of the
Petroleum Ministry. I got your contact while searching
for a capable foreign assistance, who can receive,
accommodate and possibly manage huge sum of money.
There is an over-invoiced contract sum of (Twenty
Seven million, five hundred thousand United States
Dollars only) awaiting payment to a foreign
contractor. I inflated the original contract sum to
make this difference, which the original contractor
has been paid upon completion of his contract project
leaving this amount which I and my colleagues has
worked out perfect modalities to transfer into your
account without any impending risk. This US$27.5M is
now waiting to be transferred to the Sub-Contractor
which I will now purport your company to be so that
you can receive the money on our behalf.
I appeal to you to be of good assistance to us by
providing an account to lodge this money, possibly a
virgin bank account. To do this, I need your total
sincerity. Hence you have rendered this assistance in
good faith to a success, we will offer you 25% of the
US$27.5M, 10% for expense, while my colleagues and I
keep the remaining 65%. I will appreciate every effort
you will afford to enable us achieve success. Most
especially, we need your urgent response to this, so
send an email for more details. On your convenience. Anticipating your prompt response.
Thanks,
Mr.Bello Galadima.
