A name that used to send chills down the spines of criminals, has found her amidst an identity crisis. Supercop Kiran Bedi identity has been purloined by an imposter, who claims to be on the assignment of probing the Nigerian fraud. She allegedly demands money from the victims of the conmen, luring them with a promise of scoring a quick $ 5 million. Cashing the name of Kiran Bedi, the imposter inveigles people by saying that she will pay a visit to Africa, as a civilian police advisor to the United Nations. The email shows the exasperation of Bedi in acknowledging the fact that the recipients' funds from Africa, which were intercepted, have not been released despite being cleared by the ''Nigerian presidency''. She commiserates with the people who have dumped exorbitant amount of money to transfer the fund into their account. She further states that she has succeeded in getting the cuffs on the syndicates have confessed to the fraud and indict some top level bankers. In the letter, she launches a diatribe against the Nigerians by calling them "ruthless" and accusing them of impersonating top UN officers like secretary general Ban Ki Moon to solve their insidious purpose. The World Bank and Bank Ki-Moon (sic) have spelled terror have spelled terror on the Federal Government of Nigeria by asking it to pay an amount of $5 million to each of the people whose names were found in the list. The amount must be remitted within the next 14 banking days. Failing to do so will result in an Economic Sanction, placed on Nigeria by the UN and other international Organizations.
