This is an example of scam fraudsters start the baitig process.

1. They tell you you have won something (say, a lottery) or are a beneficiary of some fund from an NGO or a bank account of a deceased person.

2. When you contact them, they tell you stories of what you need to do to collect the money (documentation stuff)

3. Then they try to extract money from you to help you complete all the documentation needed for you to collect the money

This is an old trick. Don't fall for it.

IMPORTANT: DON'T be greedy!

Remember that this email could have come from a Nigerian scammer, an American scammer, a British scammer, or a scammer from any part of the world.

It really doesn't matter what part of the world the scammer is from. What matters is that you do not fall for this cheap mindless trick.

Bottom line.

Do not attempt to reap where you did not sow. Don't accept that you have won a lottery when you did not play a lottery. Don't attempt to share stolen money or offer to accept it into your bank account when a conman makes you that proposal.

Don't be greedy!
