Ban Ki Moon of Nigeria Scam
It seems that the bottom feeders really think that people will fall for this very old scam. Idiots using the name of the United Nations in connection with the Zenith Bank of Nigeria PLC. Just seeing the word Nigeria associated with any financial transaction is enough for me to flush an correspondence received. They are 99.9999% scams.
These idiots are offering to compensate people who have been scammed in the past, trying to scam people a second time! Give me a break!

Hello,
Sorry to bother you. I have something want to ask.Can you help me? Thank you
I received email from “investigation@fbi.gov” and email “report@federal-bureauofinvestigation.org”. He said he is FBI Director Robert S. Mueller
They told me contact to
email atmcard_centre@federal-ministryng.org or
email atmcard_centre@federalministryof-finance.net
I have contact them, and they require me make the payment. I have paid the payment for them but they didn’t send me ATM Card then they require me make the payment more. I want to ask Is it Scam?
I contacted them because I see their email have domain “fbi.gov”. So now I don’t know it is scam or it is true. Can you give me know this is true or scam?
Thank you
Khanh,
It is a scam. Hope it has not cost you too much money. Do not respond any further to their requests for more money. Please read Reporting Scams and report this to the authorities.

I received very nearly the same email today (oct 5, 2008). The email address for reply has changed and they no longer give a country or a telephone number in the email, but otherwise it is the same.
It’s amazing to me that they continue even though the scam is so well known.
Lisa,
The bottom feeders continue to circulate these scams because they are still luring in innocent people. A sad fact and the prime reason this site exists.
Cheers
