A Nigerian-based e-mail scam is presently going round in the name of Mrs.Noi Takshin Shinawatara who is seeking the assistance of the recipients to invest millions in her custody.

 

The e-mail says: â??I am contacting you to assist me invest I' have this hug of money in my custody which i want you to invest it' for me without my husband concurrence with a total sum of USD $21,000.000 [twenty one million dollars].â?Â

 

This scam is often referred to as the 4-1-9 scam, after section 4-1-9 of the Nigerian Penal Code which relates to fraudulent schemes.

 

There have been numerous reports of high-level officials of the Nigerian government and the Central Bank of Nigeria personally participating in this scam, even to the extent of giving dupes tours through government buildings and showing them piles of cash in the vault of the Central Bank!

 

Recipients of the e-mails in the name of Mrs. Noi are advised to ignore it.

Pokemon
not so far away, I know you know, Potjaman

 

Choosing Noi as nickname is interesting, maybe Grace Hotel is involved, as it's a typical normal nickname the inspiration may have been a BG.

 

BTW, khunying Potjamans nickname is Aah. :cool:
