The National Assembly,

Attention: ,

In response to complaints we have been receiving from many foreigners with
reference to the scam activities of African Scammers. In an attempt to
reconcile Nigeria with such affected countries as yours, the Sum of
US$10,500,000.00 has been mapped out as recompense to each victim.
These compensation committee was newly set up by the senate, due to the
Official directives from the newly appointed President Dr Goodluck
Jonathan.He signed an official memorandum of understanding with the United
State President BARACK OBAMA,The World Bank And International Monetary
Fund(IMF) to make some amendment in order to remove the countries name
from the current World Crime List. Fortunately for you, your email was
randomly selected among the list of Beneficiaries.
The NFIU and IMF mapped out payment by ATM CREDIT CARD as the only
certified means of payment, hence your recompense amount has been issued
in the ATM CREDIT CARD which shall be sent to you as soon as possible
through which you can cash your money via Any ATM machine any where in the
world. It was Resolved and Agreed that your compensation would be
released on a special method of payment which tag name reads SWIFT CREDIT
CARD.

You are advised to send the following information:

Full Name:.................
Address:...................
Occupation.................
Age.......................
Drivers License...........
Next Of Kin:..............
Phone/Fax Number:.........

As soon as the information is received, it would be forwarded to the
approved BANK by the SENATE for immediate processing and debiting of your
fund in your favor.

Best Regards,
Mr. Joel Aliyu

I think I came across a scam about a day ago

My work hours have been drastically reduced so I am looking for a new job. I went on a common job search website and sent my resume to a job posting I found on there.

I received a email reply back but it seems shady. They said they were unavailable to meet me in person, so they asked me to send all this person information to them. Like name,address,city,zip code,Phone #, present occupation, email, gender, martial status, age, nationality, scanned Photo ID( or provide later on in employment), 2 references,. And they shared the salary in the email. Another issue was the job description that was posted on the job search website was slightly different then the email job description. I checked out their company website but it barely had much info on there.

I emailed my concerns, not all though, and the response was weird. Basically they were trying to convince me to trust them and explaining reasons on how the job would be good for me. But they haven't even met me yet but they're basically offering me the job.

It has to be a scam. I emailed them back and said I wanted to work for a larger company and I hope they find someone.

They have my resume! That's my personal stuff!

Serene, those people are identity theft con-artists. All they need from you is that info to open up banks, and credit cards. Next thing you know your thousands in debt for things you never did.

I will research companies more carefully before submitting my resume.

I never experienced that before. I got my last two jobs by applying over the internet. I guess i rushed with this one without looking for more background info on the company before hand.
