One type of advance fee fraud is known as a Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud. In these schemes, someone pretending to be a Nigerian official or business-person asks ordinary individuals and companies to help move millions of dollars out of Nigeria in exchange for high, hassle free profits. The fraudsters solicit investors through mass mailings, faxes, phone calls, and emails.
The U.S. Secret Service has set up a task force for addressing only Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud schemes.If you have suffered a financial loss from a Nigerian Advance Fee Fraud scheme, please contact your local U.S. Secret Service Field Office.
