25th July 2023 - Advance Fee Fraud Scam

On 25th July 2023, telephone number +2347054000055 was reported as being used by scammers to pretend to be Philip Akpan using email address philipakpan@agric-ministry.com.ng 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.
FROM THE DESK OF: THE CHAIRMAN
CONTRACT TENDERS BOARD F.M.A

Sir,

THIS IS A CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

It is with trust and confidence that I write to reveal this business
proposal to you, I was assigned by two of my colleagues to seek for a
foreign partner who will assist us in providing a convenient Bank
account in a designated Bank overseas for the transfer of US$36.3
Million, pending our arrival in your country for utilization and
disbursement of the fund with the owner of the account.

My Names are Mr. Philip Akpan, a Chartered accountant by profession
and I am the Chief Accountant with the Federal Ministry of Agriculture
& Rural Development (FMARD) in Nigeria (West Africa).

On January 2017, our Ministry awarded a contract of US$1.2billion, but
my colleagues and I being members of the Contract award Committee over
inflated the contract to the tune of US$1.236.3 billion, with the
intention of sharing the remaining balance of US$36.3 million amongst
ourselves.

The Contract has been successfully executed and the actual contractors
have been paid (US$ 1.2billion only), leaving a balance of US$36.3
million which we now want to transfer out of the country as the final
payment for the contract.

Since we as Government Officials are not permitted by Law to operate
Foreign bank accounts and secondly, we cannot collect the money from
the source because the contract was undertaken by a foreign firm.

My colleagues and I have agreed if you can act as the beneficiary of
this fund we will transfer the money to any of your nominated Bank
account and you will retain 25% of the total fund for the assistance
rendered by you while we retain 70% of the total fund, and the balance
of 5% will be set aside for the offsetting of all expenses that might
be incurred by both parties during the fund transfer process. We are
requesting you to co-operate with us and provide a convenient Bank
account in a designated bank where this fund can be safely transferred
into since this is our only chance of making something for ourselves
after many years of service,

We intend to come over there on the completion of the fund transfer to
secure our own share of the fund.

Please note that we have been carefully worked out all the modalities
for a smooth transfer of the fund to your chosen Bank account before
contacting you.

We would therefore want you to keep this proposal to your very self
for the purpose of security and its confidential nature, We also
believe that you will not sit on our money when it is eventually
transferred into your account, as You would get 25% of the fund.

Please be rest assured that this transaction is 100% risk free because
it will be Legally processed and all the Legal approval documents will
be procured before the remittance of the fund to your nominated bank
account, and the nature of your business has nothing to do with it.

If this proposal is accepted by you, Kindly indicate your interest by
contacting us through my direct phone and also via my Official email
address and sending us your Account number in a designated bank,
Address of the bank, your full IDENTIFICATION, your private Telephone
and mobile numbers for easy communication.

Best regards.

Yours faithfully,

Mr. Phillip Akpan
The Chief Accountant.
