The Crime Clearance Center - is a fraud too!

One of our readers sent us an e-mail from an official sounding "Crime Clearance Center".

As I read this e-mail I just had to laugh out loud. This story is good! They write that they have caught and arrested a "scamartist" named Dr. Samuel Adebe. I googled the name and came up with at least two entries refering to him.

The first one was a Guestbook entry:

The second was an entry on a scandinavian website, who correctly recognised him as a Nigerian fraudster: http://www.rongved.com/pivot/entry.php?id=284.

That being the case, the so called "Crime Clearance Center" was correct in their observations, but ....

If this is a real official organisation, why do they use a freemail adress from Bulgaria.com? Dr. Sam has also used bulgaria.com. No contact telephone number?

This story is a good idea if you want people to contact you. Who wouldn't be interested in finding out who's been using your data? Just the same it is a fraud!

Here's the e-mail:
