Hi to all, These scams are changed from Nigeria to London, Bangkok. Even some other small countries. Recently I got mail saying that I was selected for a JOB in london, for getting the visa I need to take OTIP (Overseas Travellers Insurance Policy) and they gave me an Insurance companies website also, to contact and get the certificate. When I checked with Insurance company they asked to pay 981pounds fpor getting the OTIP. Then I checked with UK embassy regarding this...they said no such is must to get the Visa. Then I called the company in which I told that I got selected. They said they don't have any such agents..No recreuitment was done on my name. So beware of such thigns
I am in China Got this mail and wonderful thing is you reply ther mail any time they can reply you back all the new they send me the contract the Visa form and others But when i said as an employer you need to do all the formalities not me they refused in arogant language every day at least 5 mails saying the same come to me Conataced the company says no positions available and inside Nigeria also things are not at all safe S O B E W A R E
I have won three times UK National lottery , Netherland lottery & Microsoft award worth billions of pounds .Ha-ha-ha I want to put these Nigers to task & even have hold of one ICICI bank account no. where the money ( courier charges )was supposed to be deposited .

Only in nigeria you find people die leaving behind millions of dollars without making will and for that they take help from India.You win million dollars without having proper lottery number.These all just to make few hundred or thousand dollars.If you continue with these mails you start reciving calls.After few days you will ask to put few thusand dollars for processing.Best joke is they give you million dollars and for that you have to put few dollars in that account.If you put that is the end.All these only nigerians can think of and I believe thay get atleast few hundred people from around the world.
few day back i also recived a mail from nagirea that you have been selected for prodution manager in honda plant plese pay us$1750 for visa fee. after joining you will get US$28000.plese ignore these type of mail.
I got a similar mail from my brother's id (he's a doctor) saying that he was struck in UK, lost the passports, cash and wanted 2000 ponds by western union.. I called my brother and his phone was un answered, I had my doubts and called my uncle...then found that my brother is in India and the email ID is stolen...I was releived...so guys be careful about this nigerian thing...
The best mail that comes out of Nigeria is that a person either has died or has inherited a lot of money (perhaps millions) and would like to invest in foreign countries ( normally the name of country is added here wher the mail is sent to) and tis person would like yopur help to invest it as he.she has not got a an account in the country he/she will like to invest it through you and will ask for your bank details if you fall for this and supply your bank details then on your next visit you will find nothing has been deposited in your accout but your account has bee cleaned fopr the balance in it, you will be left with nothing or aloan will be arrnged in your name which you will not be able to prove that you have not taken. SO be aware of such e-mails dont even bother to open and read them. just delete straight away. Nigeria is one country where 70% of worlds stolen goods end up From cars to clothes, laptops PC's to mobile phones,office equipment etc. GOOD LUCK
This was a story in dateline NBC. There were many Americans who lost their money to these fraud people. Even smart people like one state treasurer given up his entire savings of more than 1 lakh $ and 1.2million$ intotal... They suck money with stories. This article is a copy paste of NBC "To Catch A Con Man" program but any way its better to educate as many people about this.
