Method

Another classic '419' style of scam - sender claims to be trying to pass on large ammounts of money. But on answering you'll be hit with requests for 'administration fees' before you see any money. These fees will keep coming until you give up, but there is no money!

WARNINGS

1. A classic '419' style of scam. Scammer claims to have money owed to you and requests your details so they can 'transfer the money you are owed'. If you go along with them you will be hit with requests for money to cover 'administration fees', but you'll never actually see any returns, and the scammers will simply disappear!

2. Notice that the sender uses a free, web based email address.

 

" Our records of outstanding contractors due for payment, with the federal government of Nigeria, Your name and company was discovered  as next on the list of the outstanding contractors who have not received their  payments."...

If you have received this email, please remember that it is very common for these email scams to be redistributed at a later date with only slightly different content or the same but with the fake page(s) hosted by a different provider. Also, once you have received one of these hoaxes, it is also common place to receive at least another one and usually a day or two after the first, although not necessarily from the same apparent sender.
