The fraud unit of the Greater Sudbury Police Service has again
received complaints regarding the validity of an offer from
Nigeria to share in substantial American funds.
Police say the offers are scams and people should ignore
requests for assistance. They warn recipients to not forward any
information or money to these individuals.
These scams have been operating for more than 10 years and are usually sent to commercial businesses via fax, the Internet, e-mail or Priority Post. Recipients are commonly asked for fax/phone numbers, company documentation and banking particulars.
