Yes, the Africans like to use names of African celebrities for this kind of scam message. Charles Soludo is just a very prominent person in Nigeria.

This one is made to look as though it officially comes from the Nigerian Central Bank from the Boss himself. As with all fraud e-mails this one is sent through a freemail address, so it can’t be come from the Bank itself. And, I am sure that Professor Soludo wouldn’t send it through a private e-mail account.
So it can only be a Scam e-mail right?
