419 Scams: Who is the real ICPC?
Hot Scam Specifications:
Scam Type: 419 Scam
Fake Names: Mr Raymond Osazie
Offer Type: Money Transfer
Transfer Amount: To compensate for your losses in 419 scams… lmao…
Storyline: You
are being contacted by this office today because your Case File (Ai) is
the very first File on our Settlement Files Cabinet. From our
Intelligent investigations and Probing processes we discovered that you
are a victim of fraud/funds delay (i.e. you are a victim of a 419 scam)
Scammer Location: Nigeria
Scammer Email: osazie@icpc.com
Scammer Phone: (+234) 805 605 8540
This is an interesting scam where this scammer called “Raymond” contacted a potential “victim” to try and “help” him recover the money lost in a 419 scam. He sends an email from icpc.com, and apparently ICPC stands for “Independent Corrupt Practices and Other Related Offences Commission”. So it looks all real and trustworthy.
Nay.
The actual ICPC website is at http://www.icpc.gov.ng/
ICPC is an anti-corruption agency and is unlikely to have anything to do with 419 scams.
http://www.icpc.com/ is in fact a Muslim website for Islamic Center of Passaic County. It is a religious website for a Mosque.
We are not going to discuss if someone at icpc.com actually sent the email below. But in any case, this is unlikely because the email is trying to fake ICPC Nigeria (i.e. icpc.gov.ng)
So the evidence from the email itself shows that this is a scam. Nice try, scammer.
