Agreed, and there were some reports on the TV about people who had not been asked for money, bank details etc. That is, not until they got to Nigeria to present themselves with passport and other ID. That's when they were coerced into providing all those details, enabling their bank account to be used for a 'overpayment' please send the change scam
Leaving them liable for thousands of pounds owed to those who had passed on the 'change', and for the goods acquired using their bank account JimB ----- Original Message ----- From: "Slattery, Tim - BLS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 29, 2005 1:34 PM Subject: Re: Nigerian bank scam > Subject: Nigerian bank scam > Has anyone heard of a Nigerian internet scam where they don't > ask for any money, but ask for your bank info & a signature > on some document.

Once they have your bank account information - routing number and account number - they can empty your account. Nigeria is the worldwide center of financial fraud of all kinds, I would be EXTREMELY reluctant to do *any* kind of business with *anybody* from Nigeria. As for the story your friend was told, I would not believe a single word of it. -- Tim Slattery [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html -- ---------------------------------------- WIN-HOME Archives: http://PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM/archives/WIN-HOME.html Contact the List Owner about anything: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Official Win-Home List Members Profiles Page http://www.besteffort.com/winhome/Profiles.html
