I was shocked as the No of people I met in sterling bank this morning. When I asked what it was for, one of the guys showed this to me.

"This is to inform u dat FG is paying some amount of money (about 100k) to Niger Delta Indigenes, it ends on 3/1/14
Requirements are:
1) passport
2) LGA ID
3) 1k
4) Drivers licence or any valid ID.

Venue any sterling Bank for more info call 08064605739"


I feel its scam. Did anyone here participate in it?

Pure Scam. If they are to pay you 100K why would they need ur 1K. Why don't they just remove the 1K from the 100K and give you 99K.

Don't mind them. They just want to swindle the money of desperate Nigerians.

I thought as much too.
But all sterling bank branches in ph are filled with people paying for this.
Isn't sterling suppose to know its scam?
Can't they be sanctioned for allowing people to be exploited?

What concerns Sterling Bank? All they want is the money (1K) that will be lodged into their branch. If EFCC or the police comes calling, they'll simply provide the officers the account details of the scammer to assist them with the arrest of the culprit. The bank will feign ignorance of any scam activity within their branch.

If I may ask, did you ask them why they mentioned the 1K as one of the requirements? What is the 1K for? The answer to this question will determine what my assessment would be of the whole exercise

None of them seemed to know.
They felt its just part of the requirement.

Chai, na so poverty reach? They no know wetin the 1K is for but are ready to part with it hoping that 100K will fall on their laps . Scammers are obviously having a field day here in Nigeria due to high rate of poverty and illiteracy that pervades the country. I pray everyday that God should protect these weak ones from scammers.

If the money is to be used to open a personal account with Sterling Bank then I think it's okay, its not scam, since you can decide to close the account anytime. However if the money is to be lodged into a person's account, then I say it smells of scam
