Avoiding the Nigerian Letter Scam
Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as Nigerian or foreign government officials asking for your help in placing large sums of money in overseas bank accounts.
Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your cooperation.
Guard your account information carefully.
The Nigerian Letter Scam is described on the Common Fraud Schemes webpage.
