  2. NIGERIAN SCAMMERS: JAN HOFMANN - FEMI DANIELS
    Thank you for the blog postings!!!
    I have recently been scammed for $2000 by a Nigerian man who goes by the name of Jan Hofmann. He posses as a British citizen buying art goods in Nigeria. His story is so much alike the many I have read on this site and the language almost identical to the these guys: (Pedro Williams, John, and other scammers)the stories are also similar... the malaria sickness just before coming back to the US, the sick child at the orphanage, etc. He wants me send him more money in cash so he can purchase a return ticket to come to the US. He sent me a scanned British passport with his picture.His "hotel manager" goes by the name of "Femi Daniels" - (I think is the same person) Jan wants me to send the money to "Femi" who is Nigerian. According to Western Union, only Nigerians showing Nigerian ID can cash the money. His phone number is: 234-803-0727483
