Martin Ofurum - Justina Ilechie - Dos Abdullah - Summit Finance Company Limited ripoff, scam, impostor, his spelling sucks Lagos, Internet

I went through a month long relationship with my Attorney from Nigeria. Although it was a scam, it was fun to see what he was going to write each day. His spelling and grammer is in need of a lot of work. I sent an email to a "real law firm" in Nigeria asking about this guy. My answer said he was a real attorney and the finance co really exist. But the Martin Ofurum sending me this mail is an impostor. No money for me. I thanked them and sent the information I had to them to deal with.

It's only been a couple of days, but since I sent the letter to the real law firm I haven't heard from Martin. I miss the fun, but after a while he quit being interested in answering anything I wrote and was asking about sending money. He even paid part of the processing fee! Dumb, I know, I sent him 200. O well. It was very interesting, and educational.

It is so believing. The email address for the finance company looks very real. I have been talking to them via, email. Its just unbelievable. It would be such a dream come true that it's hard to resist. I have some of the addresses and phone numbers, which I have called and talked to him with. I even have the email and address of the finance company. After talking to the finance company, via email, I really thought it was real. The steel company that the cousin worked for was also real. Amazing what your dreams can make you believe. These are few of the email I received from him and the finance company. The addresses I have for the "Attorney" are: (clues to look for)(he has two addresses and neither is a firm)

Dorothy,

We have confirmed your documents with the issuance authority and applied for the Approval of Fund Transfer from the Fund Transfer Monitory Department (FTMD), a federal government of Nigeria parastatal that
monitors every fund transfer in and out of the country.

We were unable to obtain the Approval of Fund Transfer consequent that the FTMD requested for a Terrorist/Drug Clearance Certificate and 2 years Tax Payment Confirmation Receipt of the Deposit Account. No tax has
been paid for that past years the deceased died.

Thus, be advised to send us copy of your Terrorist/Drug Clearance Certificate and also contact your attorney to go the Board of Inland Revenue for the 2 years tax clearance. Hopefully you can send us the documents
by fax today thus, I shall credit your designated bank account and fax to you the fund transfer confirmation slip before we close office
today.
