TIPS TO AVOID NIGERIAN OR "419" FRAUD

• If you receive a letter from Nigeria asking you to send personal or banking information, do not reply in any manner.
• If you know someone who is corresponding in one of these schemes, encourage that person to contact law enforcement 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.
