‘Non-Resident Clearance Form’ Advance Fee Scam

According to this email, the Nigerian National Petroleum Corporation (NNPC) in conjunction with the Ministry Of Finance Of the Federal Republic of Nigeria want to pay you 27 million dollars.

The email instructs you to contact Barclays Bank in the UK to arrange the transfer of your funds. Supposedly, you just need to obtain a Non-Resident Clearance Form to allow the transfer of your funds.

However, the email is a scam designed to trick you into sending money and personal information to criminals. It is not from the NNPC or the Nigerian government. It has no connection to Barclays Bank. And, alas, there is no 27 million dollars.

If you receive this email or one similar to it, do not reply. Just delete it.
