Sanusi Lamido Sanusi's apparent given name is Mallam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, born July 31, 1961. He is currently the Governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria. Click Here for his Wikipedia article.
Dr. Sanusi's name is commonly used by a lot of 419 Nigerian scam artists, who copy each other's scam-mails. They usually don't know English well enough to make up their own. If your e-mail address has been on their mailing lists for not much time at all, you've probably already seen the ones with Dr. Sanusi mentioned. The ones you get with his name are most definitely not from him, and you will notice that the scammers will always want you to respond to a free e-mail address, which almost anyone in the world can sign up for. They have received no mandate and no instructions from anyone, especially not Nigeria's president, Goodluck Jonathan. They have not collaborated with the EFCC, Interpol, the FBI, the CIA, or any other governmental or non-governmental agency at all. There is no "problem" with the IMF, the IRS, nor any "diplomatic courier service." The courier service is not offering them any method of delivery, because there is no delivery to be made, and there is no diplomat waiting for you at the airport. If there is a phone number to call, the scammer would answer it, eager to steal from you. There are no funds. There is no money. It never exists, ever, and there are never any exceptions. Period. These thieves are only attempting to scam you out of your money, and they also have no idea how much space millions of dollars in cash would take up or how much it would weigh. Give them some fake information if you want to, but otherwise don't help them to improve their poor techniques. Some people enjoy scambaiting them, but I'm honestly not very good at it. There are a lot more of these 419 scams linked Here, and an ABC documentary video is Here. Please follow me on Twitter @inscamerated. Thank You. Comments are closed.
