DIRECTORATE OF INTERNATIONAL PAYMENT AND TRANSFER.

I can’t see where this scam originated from, as it was submitted by a reader.  It claims to come from Nigeria.  But if it does, wouldn’t the scammer know how to spell the name of his own country?  Apparently I have an “accured” fund – do you suppose it’s been in hospital?
