You receive a surprise email from a man who claims to be the chairman of some government committee. Apparently, there are funds from over-invoiced contracts and they want you to manage it. It’s a scam!

Below is a copy of the email:

Good Day,

I am the chairman of the contract award committee of department of Industry, Tourism and Resources. Republic of Benin, and I represent a group that is interested in engaging your services as Manager for investment purpose, of a large volume of funds from over-invoiced contracts already executed and paid for.

If this proposal is acceptable to you, please get back to me via my private e-mail:[email protected]

Sincerely Yours,
Mr. Joram Gumbo
