FROM THE BRITISH HIGH COMMISSION!!! [email protected]

This scam method is particularly nasty as it targets people who have already been scammed. The official British High Commission in Nigeria uses this website. They would definitely not be using a free live.com email service for official business. Interestingly the spoofed email address [email protected] is a completely invalid email address. Simply delete or ignore this and similar scam emails.
