37-year-old Nigerian scammer Paul Gabriel Amos convinced Citibank officials to wire him $27 million belonging to Ethiopia. Rather than go with the usual Nigerian nom de plumes like prince or will executor, Famous Amos pretended to be an official with the National Bank of Ethiopia. Amos forged “official-looking” documents that confirmed his status with the central bank and instructed Citibank to await faxes telling them where to send the country’s cash.

So as you can see anyone can be scam by these Nigerian they are smart, if they can do this to a bank how many people fall for there scam? Don’t believe what the say and DON’T send them any amount of many. Be careful.
