This is a collection of Letters relating to the ongoing 4-1-9 Scam. You'll probably get them in your email if you don't have proper SPAM or phisher protection. People writing these are really stupid and most reside in Lagos, Nigeria. Never trust anyone from Nigeria when it comes to doing business online.
ATTN. DEAR,
I am Mr. VICTOR ATABA, Director of Project, ghana Department of Minerals and Energy.
I am making this contact with you based on the committee's need for an individual/company who is willing to assist us with a solution to a money transfer.
This amount $7.5m represents the balance of the total contract value executed on behalf of Department by a foreign contracting firm, which we the officials over-invoiced deliberately, of which the actual sum has been paid.Should you be willing to assist us in the transaction, your share of the sum will be 25% of the $7.5 million, 70% for us and 5% for taxation and miscelleneous expenses.
I await your immediate response.
Yours faithfully,
Mr. VICTOR ATABA.
