"Carman Lapointe-Young (born in 1951, Canada) has since 2010 been Under-Secretary-General for the United Nations Office of Internal Oversight Services (OIOS) of the United Nations." - Wikipedia.com
Wikipedia is at least believeable for stuff like that. These scammers want you to believe that they are her. All they did was look for some government official on the internet, and they chose her for this scam. They could have chosen anyone in power. They say she's been "talking" to the UN Secretary General and the Nigerian President, saying that's she's been successful in getting your "fund" released. Don't believe a word of it. There's no money, and they want to take yours. This is simply another Nigerian 419 flavor. For more of these, Click Here. I haven't a clue where these guys come up with this stuff. This is just another 419 Nigerian scam flavor, of course. "Contract payments" presume that I signed a contract. If I had, and done a job according to the contract, I'd be paid. Duh. I'd say most Americans understand capitalism pretty well, and can't imagine anyone falling for this scam. Maybe I'd be surprised. I see this "Sanusi Lamido" a lot, too. It turns out that he's the executive governor of the Bank of Nigeria. These scammers are just using his name to try to get us to believe that we have some sort of government "contract payment" coming, when the money clearly does not exist, because no contract was signed.

In this scam, "Rosalia" claims to be a former FBI agent, and "noticed" some "unethical activity" going on with her "boss." She would never, ever be a part of it though, oh no, because she is such a "good, fine, and upstanding Christian" LOL. Having "gained our trust," she then proceeds to tell us about some "fund" that's been "approved" to pay out to us. This is simply another Nigerian 419 scam flavor.

Technically these are Nigerian 419 scams, but they're so numerous that they deserve their own subsection. Someone from "the FBI" is contacting you by e-mail, saying that you have a "transaction" going on with Nigeria's central bank. The "FBI" tells you it's "legitimate," and here's what you need to do to get the money that doesn't exist, of course. And to top it off, they're fraudulently signed by some FBI "official," up to and including Robert Mueller, the Director. No one in government contacts anyone by e-mail, ever, unless you contact them first. Even then, you will most likely be ignored. Click Here for more "Robert Mueller" scams, I've got tons.
Be careful, there's a brand new scam out in the wild, pretending to be from the "National Security Agency." I guess the ones from the "FBI," from "Robert Mueller" and so on are getting old LOL. Click Here for more of these.
