The names of banks that are crossed off below are the banks that have ceased to exist since January 2nd 2006, so, if you receive an email from someone saying they are from a Nigerian bank, and if it is crossed of below, you can be certain you are being scammed as that bank no longer exists.
Please bear in mind that scammers often abuse the names of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other Nigerian banks in their scams, no Nigerian bank uses any free email addresses such as xxxxx@yahoo.com, xxxxx@hotmail.com, xxxxx@myway.com, xxxxx@banker.com, xxxxx@consultant.com, xxxxx@lawyer.com, those are all email addresses that scammers register for free, a real bank would only ever email anyone from an email address that matches their website domain name, for example, the CBN website domain name is www.cenbank.org so, emails from them would be in the form of xxxxx@cenbank.org, anything other than that and you are in contact with a scammer!
Please also be aware that scammers spoof emails to make it look like it has been sent from a legitimate bank email address, except that they obviously cannot receive replies back to that same spoofed address, as they are not from the bank, so they will always have to give an alternative email address to reply to them. They also buy domain names and place fake bank websites on those domains, they use domain names such as
