FREE DELIVERY 4 ■ H lB ia $1 liter arttkli tli l i l l i t r Citi Usili Jim Bordenet, Postal inspector and public information officer, Seattle Division, and Mike McGuire, Heppner Postmaster, are alerting area residents and business owners of a fraud scheme being perpetrated through the mail, FAX, Internet or telephone. According to Bordenet, small business owners in the Heppner area have been the target of an "old fashioned confidence swindle purportedly offering huge sums of money from the Nigerian government." Bordenet says that the target usually receives a letter from a Nigerian government "official", often claiming to be a doctor, prince, chief, accountant or head engineer, who says that a huge sum of money has been discovered during an audit of Nigerian contract payments of the Nigerian National Petroleum Corp He says that the funds had been set aside to pay foreign contractors and the funds are available to the business people because of some billing error. The official needs someone (a U S. business) to take the funds out of Nigeria, but up-front money, supposedly for taxes or to bribe a government official, is required before the final payout can be made. The perpetrator of the scam asks that the business' bank account be used for the deposit of the funds and says that the business will receive 30 percent of the amount transferred. O f course "the only money going out belongs to the American victim," says Bordenet. Bordenet says that some business people have even traveled to Nigeria and some have admitted paying $300,000- Tucker-Greenup Nina Tucker and Truitt Greenup The families of Nina Tucker of Hermiston and Truitt Greenup of Lexington announce the couple's engagement.

A Nigerian man was sentenced to prison after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit mail fraud and Social Security fraud in connection with one of the schemes, according to an article in the Seattle Times.
