Addey Femola United Nations Office of International Oversight Services Nigerian Scam/Fraud

This is an interesting Nigerian scam on several levels.

(1) The person is Mr. Addey Femola...with a job title of United Nations Office of International Oversight Services. What kind of crazy Nigerian dreamed up title is that? I give them credit for it being original.

(2) The scammer to try and convince you he's on your side offers his cell phone number of +234 802 481 4161 which he says he just acquired in Nigerian. Yeah right.

(3) Notice the questions the scammer wants you to provide to them.

1. Your full name:--------------
2. Your home address:----------
3. Your contact phone number:-----------
4. Your Occupation: ----------
5. Your marital status/age:----
6. Your valid id card/international passport:--------
7. Home equity, (Yes) or (no)?

What is that, home equity yes or no? What kind of question is that? And your valid id card/international passport? What is it they are looking for here?

For a great convincing read (yet woefully a scam, please read the email in its entirety below. I will for sure give those scammers credit for trying to look more honest and less crooked but it's still a fraud for sure.

Here's that email:
