lol I get that email every week
If any of you guys ever get your money from the esteemed and respectable Dr Jibril Aminu, give me a call and I'm yours.![]()
I actually ran into two people who fell for this. What happens is that you are told to forward the Income Tax on this money to them. If you do this they will send the money. Of course after you send the money there is another tax or Custom Fee to pay. Needless to say if anybody wants you to pay a tax tell them to withhold it from the money they are going to give you.

I have packaged a financial transaction that will benefit both of us, as the Branch manager of the International Commercial Bank; It is my duty to send in a financial report to my head office in the capital city Accra-Ghana at the end of each year.

While you will have 35% of the total fund.

I have hundreds of these in my inbox from all over the Middle East, Asia, and especially Africa.
But they do work - somebody falls for it, otherwise it wouldn't catch on.
If they send it to 1,000,000 people and just 10 of them fall for it, they make a massive profit. So it's worth it for them. And you know how far $1,000 will go in an African nation? I spent one month in Tanzania in 1995 and I did not spend more than fifty pounds (just over $100).
