I have been instructed by the EFCC to initiate an international clearance form by way of internet. There are so many different kinds I am not positive of the one being asked for. How do I submit the application on line to the EFCC.
I had paid for one such clearance, submitted it to the EFCC and was told it was fake.
What does the certificate actually look like.
Please end in attachment the appropriate form as to deter misconception to redacted@yahoo.com

I seriously doubt that there is any acceptable form. The best advice I can offer is this: ESPECIALLY WHEN NIGERIA IS INVOLVED, DON’T BELIEVE A WORD OF THEY SAY.

If you still choose to waste your money that way, oh well, some folks are just gullible.

Well, I got in touch with one of these persons I guess, he reached me over my yahoo msg and started to talk to me. The next day he was asking me for my phone number and telling me that he can not live without me, he loves me and bla bla bla, even talking about marriage. Freak! He told me that he was working in Nigeria with the Us Government for 3 months and he will be back to US in December. His name(which I bet is fake) is Alex Gibbs.
I stopped talking to him, he really freaked me out.
Looks like he is looking to get in touch with women and get their information and then probably empty their bank accounts.

Attn:Ismail Burhan Turksen,

information being required to execute this project,I apologize my delay to

Diplomatic roaming number:+233-541-267-623.

!DSPAM:63,4a8e97ef714175611857!

Thanks for sending it in.

It’s hard to say from just this – it appears to reference an earlier communication which you didn’t send in. The country code in the phone number is indeed for Ghana. But the signature, ” Dr.Steve Koffon.” gives this one away for good, even without the earlier information. You’ll no doubt have noticed that the distinguished doctor is the author of the Scam an earlier commenter (see comment #13) was reporting. Looking at this fine example of uneducated bliss, filled with run-on sentences the length of a paragraph, I can say with certainty that it is most definitely a part of a scam.

My advice – delete it and forget it.

I have send all my saving to the Ivory Coast in regards to act as a foreign partner for Mrs Katherine Smith wife of the late Mr Solomon Smith . i have receive letter of affidavit,Clearance Certificate ,Drugs Law ,letter from the prime minister ,to my understanding the Fund Monitoring Unit in London has stop the transaction saying that i need to pay 8.850 pound to get another clearance certificate before the transaction can be transfer to my account,i have spent all my saving doing this and can not get any where.The person at the fund monitoring unit at 103-109 lavender Hill Battersea london SW115QL is Captain David Mills.kindly check out same and inform me via my e-mail.Thanks and GOD bless you. I remain Michael

Michael, this is exactly the way many of these scams work. It’s sad that you’ve sent them all your savings, but the only thing I can recommend you do is stop right now. Don’t communicate with them at all. If they send you another email, delete it without reading it. Scammers operate outside the reach of law and there is nothing you can do to get back the savings you already gave away. No matter how much you send them, they will always say they need more. They will make it look like it’s some completely different person, organization or even country – but you can bet it’s just a small group of guys who are making a good living by stealing from folks like you.

Try to learn a lesson here, and walk away from it.
