…. your Draft … Attention: Beneficiary, YourName
This scammer gets straight to the point, they want $150 as their initial payment. If you are daft enough to fall for their scam, they will continue asking you for more money, for more fees.
You know as well as I do that the Bank of Nigeria is not holding $10.5m in your name. Just ignore this scammer.
