I receive an almost identical mail from a GK investment agency purportedly run by a Dr Godwin Kaplan. I was almost the evictim of a Nigerian scam - actually processed a credit card which was approved - value over $5000 and the product was couriered - UPS security suspected a scam , stopped the shipment and asked us to check the card with the issuing bank - it was stolen!! We received the product back from UPS :"Bless 'em!!" and the bank reversed the card transaction. Phew!!

Rember the motto " Hogs get slaughtered - Pigs get Fat"" Be careful - don't become a HOG!!

Scammers can utilize the documents for another scam to potential victims
and your company would be suspicious of an accomplice in the ring of fraudulence.
So STOP contact with them immediately and NEVER send any documents to them.

hi Awareriskinc,

This is my first time here and it is a great site.

Thank you for the advice.

I got almost the same mail word for word from a different sender. I played it cagy with him as it sounded too good to be true. Then I noticed that the mail address kept changing and that was when I started looking around. I contacted the World Bank as there was nothing on their website and they did not know about it (the scam). I have since sent them a link to this forum for them to read.
It is good to be here and inform those that could get taken.
Have a great day
Bernard

I have responded to the following email, sent in requested letters and proforma invoice, have been accepted, and have a million dollar supply contract to sign. Nothing will be sent until the money is securly in my bank account.They have my business name and registration number (public record anyway) and from an above reply, I realize they could use my businesss name for another scam, even more so if they have my signature. I am hesitating until I know for sure. Hope I'm not messing up a real opportunity. I note the email address is yahoo.

As follow up on the above post. I was corresponding with this fellow in Ghana, West Africa, about supply through ECOWAS. It was all very clear, was very professional, and made perfect sense. I responded to at least 33 emails from the Agent who had sent official looking documents showing his credibility, and I responded to 3 or 4 emails from the Contract Committee who had also sent several official looking documents approving and accepting a contract with me. This all took place over a three month period. I was then asked to look over the draft contract and to let them know where changes were needed and they would make the changes and we would then sign the contract.
Well, there were discrepancies in the contract around who is responsible for shipping the products from one port to the other. They ignored that. Then the agent said he could not afford to pay a lawyer to make the changes and he had already paid the $550 tender fee on my behalf so I should send money to pay for the amendments. I reminded him that the committee said they would make the changes. The agent was always in a rush, it was always very urgent as time was running out. He also implied a few times that perhaps I was not competent to supply them and if I have doubts they should find another supplier.
Then the agent said that I should come to Africa to sign the contract. As an alternative they could find me a lawyer in Africa to represent me who could look after the signing for me. He sent the names of two law firms (both had fee email accounts). I did some research and told them that I could sign the contract here in Canada, that it is the function of the Embassy of the Consulate of Ghana in Canada to verify all international interactions. The Ambassador or Consul could witness and verify my signature, and that would be legally as good as if I signed it in person in Africa with a lawyer. I told them I could then send the signed contract by Fed. Ex to them. I copied that to the committee and they responded like this. Email was marked “very urgent”.
______________________________________
ATTENTION THE PRESIDENT,
SIR,

WE ARE IN RECEIPT OF YOUR MAIL.THE ISSUE OF THIS CONTRACT AND THE SIGNING OF THE CONTRACT AGREEMENT ON THAT DATE WAS NOT ONLY FIXED BY ME ONLY BUT BY ECOWAS OFFICIALS AND OTHER DIGNITARIES IN THE COUNTRY.
