Default Tips to Avoid Nigerian Letter or "419" Fraud

§ If you receive a letter from Nigeria asking you to send personal or banking information, do not reply in any manner. Send the letter to the U.S. Secret Service or the FBI.
§ If you know someone who is corresponding in one of these schemes, encourage that person to contact the FBI or the U.S. Secret Service as soon as possible.
§ Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as Nigerian or foreign government officials asking for your help in placing large sums of money in overseas bank accounts.
§ Do not believe the promise of large sums of money for your cooperation.
§ Guard your account information carefully.
