i was recently contacted by a Mr. Collins Powell
[email: a-zbasketballconnector@usa.com] telling me about a team in the Nigerian Premier League (Yelwa Hawks) that was having a try-out and would have 7 americans try-ing out of which 5 players would be selected. he said the round trip ticket to try-out would be paid for but accomadations would have to be covered by me. and players who signed would receive $5000 usd per month plus feeding, housing, and a personal car along with $250 usd per week spending money. the contract was suppose to be for 8 months. he asked for some common information such as name, height, weight, etc. and said it would take 2 days to process paper work. then he asked for $250 usd to be sent via Western Union to (C O S M A S C H A N K A
LAGOS,NIGERIA) and then the package containing my ticket, documents, and club jacket would be sent by DHL courier to my door step. he also went as far as to call me at home and try to talk to me. he tries to make the deal seem very attractive and pretends to be impressed with your stat lines from your former schools/teams and gets this information from sites like this where players post for job openings in overseas-basketball. he had a fake email that he used to contact me at first that was Andy Agams (miss_andyagams@yahoo.com) and pretended to be a representative of the website and refering me to mr. powell. DO NOT SEND MONEY to this person. there have very, very similar scams like this involving other teams in the Premier League such as union banks, etc. and be sure to report it so that email can be labeled as fraudulent!!!!!
