Ikea Foundation is a foundation in Europe whose name is abused for a fake grant scam by a Nigerian gang. The scam works the same way as a fake lottery scam, i.e. you are made to pay money to a fake lawyer, bank, courier company, etc.
This scam is derived from the "Fondazione Di Vittorio" scam, which also abuses the name of a legitimate European foundation that has no connection whatsoever to the scam.
The following emails are part of an Advance Fee Scam. See our "419" fraud FAQ for more information on such scams.
