Is the EFCC a legit thing in nigeria?

Just wondering because my catcher account got an obvious scam email with headers and footers from the EFCC. Googling the EFCC brings up a flashy site with most wanteds and what we do etc etc.

Just interested as to how to proceed with this lad and his/her fake email stuff. I can repost the email if that helps.

Yes they are legit. If this is not the email it came from it is a scam. [email protected] and web site http://www.efccnigeria.org/

They will probably want to help you recover your losses from being scammed or make up for your loss by giving you a fund....for a fee Laughing

A lot of lads will recontact victims (and baiters) purporting to be the EFCC claiming they can help regain the money paid to scammers, its just one of their tricks to hit victims again

Question was that passport sent to you unaltered? If so SLAP the mugu and tell him you should never share government ID over the net.

A general rule I have is I don’t accept government ID unsolicited

It sort of averts the question of you sending them a passport.

Posted: Thu Feb 10, 2011 9:05 pm

well she's just requested my passport, so she can open an account for me in nigeria to deposit the funds into.
I guess she bought my sob story of being, jobless , homeless and bank accountless so i only have ca$h hehe. So time to send her an un-openable zip file, she how long i can drag that out Twisted Evil

she's even offering to pay to "open" the account lol
