14 DAY TRIAL // How would you react when receiving an email from the president of the United States, accusing you of participating in money laundering and terrorism? You should react by pressing the email client’s “delete” button because it’s just a scam.
Hoax Slayer has come across such an email, allegedly signed by Barack Obama himself. The notification, which carries pictures of US flags and even a picture of the president, looks something like this:
Behold, you are reading a letter from your President Barack Obama. Finally, I have received lists of the names of people that are involved in money laundry and terrorism which your name is among the names that was submitted to me.
I have ordered to release arrest warrant to the IPA to quickly carry out their duty and make sure that they get you arrested and summon you to the court immediately which they will be on their duty on Thursday morning as assigned since you are trying to play ball with me.
You have failed to comply with them after all the warning and instructions given to you, but since you are also among the terrorist we are facing in the country, I will personal make sure that I wipe away the crime in the state.
I promise you that you will definitely pay with your life because I am here to protect the interest of my people and not to put them in shame, you suppose to support this government and not to spoil it.
The letter claims that the Nigerian government has confirmed that the money actually belongs to the recipient, but an “ownership certificate” must be provided within 24 hours of receiving the notification.
Those who reply to the email are asked to send a certain amount of money to the scammers, allegedly needed to pay off various fees.
We advise users not to respond to such emails as they’re part of an intricate plot whose main goal is to trick unsuspecting internauts into handing over money.
