We have been informed that some touts are contacting you in respect to the collection of your fund in the total sum of ($45 Million U.S.A Dollars) that was long approved in your favour through the Standard Trust Bank of Nigeria.

As a matter of fact we have been on this investigation assignments for some time codely known to no one but the Presidency and some top government
official who are in support of this investigation team to help stop fraudalent activities in this country.

Although we have been able to come up with some good results about the people that have extorted money from you illegally and i wish to list them so that you will personally indi cate them by writting back because we want to make your payment
to you without any delay but we must surely deal and bring this names to book if

Gut Feelings Are Always Right -Don't Get Scammed

Gut Feelings Make Great Friends

Gut feelings save lives. People say trust your gut feelings. And, that if it sounds too good to be true then, probably it really is. Scams come in different shape or form. Always go with your gut feelings as there are pretty good liars and manipulators out there waiting to pounce. If you are not careful they will scam the shirt right off your back. I've been scammed several times so I know having been taken for a ride several times. 

 I have been targeted through emails, telephones, snail mail and in person. I have let my guard down more than listening to my gut feelings and end up being taken for a ride. Since, I know the tactics of the scammers, I am sharing this so you won't be fooled.  Maybe you have never been scammed and think it won't happen to you well, you never know.

 There once was a time, I used to purchase merchandise from catalogs. As a result my name was sold to some company who included me on their mailing list. Being eager to be my own boss I was nominated and won the title of Opportunity Seeker. All I did was purchase a manual which would teach me how to trade commodities hoping to reap a fortune in the process. Ever since, my name has been making others rich and a candidate for scam artists. When they are not using my information to run up big bills they are sending non postal money directing me to deposit only into my bank account. But that's a whole different post. 

So,I received this letter way back then and I am still receiving them today sometimes modified, sometimes altered. I don't know if you are aware of this letter in which it is always printed "THIS IS NOT A CHAIN LETTER BUT A PERFECTLY LEGAL MONEY MAKING OPPORTUNITY.

This letter claims to make one $80.000, or $250.000 in weeks. This is by far the biggest scam yet and I can attest to the fact twice , that it does not work After following all the instructions, the only people who made money were the people I sent a $1 to the mailing list company which usually sells names for $40, $75 the post office for postage and not forgetting the store where I had to purchase 200 envelopes and the copy store for copies. Sometimes more has to spent on copies because the chain letter takes up multiple pages. I spent about more to make less than my initial investment.

 Many people are taken because it sounds good, believable, easy and affordable. They even include testimonials. All this is to sway the unsuspecting and get one to eat from their hands. Before you know it you are taken for a ride. 

If you don't want to be scammed keep your guard up always. The only way such programs are still around is because people buy into the hype hoping to make some really quick, fast money only to be in for a rude awakening. IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE , THEN MAYBE IT REALLY IS. Always listen to your gut feelings.
