Nigerian scam
takes a twist
SOUTH HURON — A woman living in
South Huron contacted Huron OPP about
an e-mail she received.
The scam started when a woman e-
mailed the victim stating her parents had
died and her money was tied up in a
security company. Her inheritance was to
the time of $18 million US and she need-
ed some assistance to continue with her
life. The woman from Nigeria, who said
she was attending school in the United
States, needed some assistance and if she
helped she would give the woman 10 per
cent of her inheritance.
This went on for a couple of months
when the correspondence changed and
the e-mail said she was sending her a
cheque for $15,000. When the cheque
was received she was to send $10,000 of
it to a pastor in South Africa and put the
rest into another account. The cheque
arrived and the woman would like to
thank the Royal Bank who told her that it
would take 30 days for the cheque to
clear. If she had sent the money to the
other person immediately she would have
been out the $10,000. The cheque in
question later bounced.
The OPP wants to remind people not to
respond to these scams.
