the the business community are being warned and cautioned on letters
originating from South Africa or Nigeria, soliciting business in Saint Lucia to
conduct financial transactions of a suspicious nature. The Ministry of Commerce, Industry ,
International Financial Services and Consumer Affairs has reported that letters
and information regarding dubious requests for assistance for huge money
transfers from persons in South Africa and Nigeria are continuing to flow into
the Ministry. According to the Ministry, the requests
require mutual participation by two parties in purporting to effect money
transfers from South Africa or Nigeria.
