14th November 2021 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 14th November 2021, telephone number +2347012017359 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Godwin Emefiele working as Governor for Central Bank of Nigeria using email address centralankpayingaccout1@outlook.com as part of an Advance Fee Fraud Scam.

In Advance Fee Fraud Scams, the scammer will offer you something of high value (a large sum of money or gold for example) and all you have to do is pay a "small" fee. What the scammer is offering you does not actually exist and the scammer will come up with fee after fee that needs to be paid by the victims, until he either runs out of money or realises that he has been scammed. The scammer will often pretend to be real people or companies, use fake websites and introduce various characters, all with the aim of convincing the victim that what is being offered to him is real.

Here is the email that the scammer sent to his victims.
Office of the Governor
From The Desk of: Mr Godwin Emefiele,
Gov. CBN.
Telex: +234-701-201-7359
Dear Beneficiary,

We are yet to receive your information and id required for the authentication, processing and release of your fund by ATM Card or Bank Transfer. Please kindly furnish us with the required details to enable us to process and release your fund accordingly and very importantly enclose your direct contact telephone or cell number for effective communication towards the release of your funds.

Meanwhile, be informed that in the cause of my verification of your unpaid funds, I discovered that your local representative or whoever is assisting you here to accomplish the release of your funds, did not file the right and necessary genuine paperwork that would accomplish the release of your funds. That is the actual reason why your funds have not been released till date.

Furthermore it's either that they have failed to use the funds you may have sent to them to do the needful or they must have scammed you and used the funds they may have collected from you for their selfish reason thereby leaving the release of your funds unaccomplished till date.

Therefore you must disassociate yourself from such scammers and stop every communication you have with them for the safety and interest of your funds. I am therefore constrained to inform you of the bitter but honest truth why your funds have not been released till date.

You are therefore advised to get back to me as a matter of urgency and pick up your payment processing form to enable my office as the Governor of Central Bank of Nigeria to directly handle your payment under strict supervision and process and release your funds without further bureaucracy and put an end to your long unpaid funds.
Finally it's very important that you enclose you to reconfirm your id, contact address and your direct phone number for more effective communication regarding your payment.
Thanks and looking forward to your urgent response.
Yours faithfully,
Mr Godwin Emefiele
Governor Central Bank of Nigeria.
