Richter Leveris claimed to have gotten my BBM PIN from a directory which obviously is false. I decided to keep up with the conversation to find out more about him. He claimed to work with top notch Tech companies aside running his own software company; married at 20; has been divorced for about 6 years; and has two daughter (32, 22); 8 dogs, a turtle etc. He requested that we chat on iChat if I have iphone or Mac product. When I answered but not in the affirmative he then decided to send Apple Macbook Pro and Iphone 6 to me just so we can have online conversation. At this point curiosity got a hold of me to find out about the man who would send an iphone and a laptop to me for free.
Google gave no information about Richter Leveris. I requested for the name of his software company or if he uses any social media so I can add him. He declined my questions but hastily demanded for my address so he can send the items. I ended up searching up on him with his BBM PIN and viola a nairalander already warned about him. See below

I provided address for the items to be sent. Shortly I got details of the waybill and the customer care number to call to pick up the items. One Sandra picked when I called 08102344458, she declined to mention her surname and gave the address of BA Cargo to be The British High Commission in Abuja. Sensing I found out it’s a scam he blocked me on BBM unknown to the person I already screenshot our conversation. Truecaller could not attach owner identity to number when I tried checking and a call to the Toll Free number of NCC with the possibility of tracking down the culprit failed when I was told the issue is better reported to the police or other security agencies.
Nigerians needs to beware. Obviously his format is the same, the BBM Pin is the same, the cargo service provider and the customer care number varies.

See pictures attached

We certainly have a serious scammer on the loose. I wonder why dammytosh thinks the op is trying to scam the scammer. The scammer uses different names including Richter Leveris but the BBM PIN remains 2810FAEB including the MTN line 08102344458. He uses the same format always i.e. wanting to send you some expensive devices and money which he wants you to clear with some amount from fictitious cargo service providers just to swindle you.

Industrialization and manufacturing operations globally no doubt has brought about massive socioeconomic development vis-à-vis the improvement in the quality of life, well being of humans, and prosperity to nations. This however has not been achieved without environmental impact varying in level of significance depending on the nature and size of manufacturing operations among other things. Industries recognizing the associated environmental impacts of their operations have consistently initiated steps to mitigate and/or remediate them in order to comply with statutory environmental regulations and legislations of the country where they operate as well to boost their public reputation as a company.

Environmental Compliance is no longer an option most importantly given the far reaching adverse impact on the components of the environment including air, water, and soil; the legal consequences; and public relations effect resulting from fines and/or closure for violations of environmental laws. Manufacturing and industrial companies across the world are already pledging commitment to environmental protection; reduction of environmental footprint including air pollution, waste generation, water consumption, energy consumption, noise etc.; and adoption of environmentally friendly operations and procedures in order to ensure sustainable development.

It is important for manufacturing industries as corporate citizens to assess their operations for associated environmental impacts and decide to responsibly protect the environment in which they operate. The following is a guide to facilitate excellent environmental performance for any company willing to accept responsibility for environmental management and comply with relevant environmental laws applicable to their operations.

Make Environmental Management and Compliance a Business Concern

As with other operations of the company, environmental management should be considered as a business concern and adjudged the same priority. The top management should show due commitment to the environmental affairs of the company by providing strong and visible leadership; establishing environmental goals and targets; and ensuring adequate resources including financial, human, and technical are available to facilitate environmental management. This applies to Heads of various departments/units especially where the company records higher environmental footprints or environmental aspects. Environmental awareness should be conducted for employees and contractors where applicable to acquaint them with the environmental goals and objectives of the company. Prompt attention should be given to environmental emergencies that arise from operations and ancillary activities in the company with responsibilities assigned to specific personnel for management of environmental aspects.

Identify Relevant Environmental Laws and Regulatory Agencies

Nations across the world have statutory environmental legislations that guide how manufacturing industries interact with the environment with the sole aim of eliminating or reducing harmful impacts. Countries have domesticated international conventions and agreements whilst also establishing others as deemed necessary given specific need of the country. This is coupled with states or provinces establishing environmental laws to protect the environment within their territory or jurisdiction. Statutory environmental laws are enforced by regulatory agencies which can be national, state or even local governments. Manufacturing industries need to get acquainted with environmental laws and legal requirements that are not only relevant to their environmental aspects but also those they are duty bound to comply with whilst considering regulatory agencies as key stakeholders in their efforts to ensure environmental management.

Engage an Environmental Consultant

Environmental Consultants are individuals or firms which have multiple years of requisite experience in various aspects of environmental management. Usually environmental consultants are accredited by relevant regulatory agencies, members of professional organizations with multidisciplinary team that appropriately position them to provide advisory services to manufacturers and industries in managing various environmental aspects. They aid environmental decision of the top management, provide guidance to in-house environmental teams whilst supporting companies to prepare relevant environmental reports and submitting same to regulatory agencies. When they are engaged they are responsible for follow-up of the environmental performance through environmental compliance monitoring, environmental assessments and audits. Environmental consultants are invaluable for environmental monitoring with respect to water pollution, wastewater/effluent discharge, air and noise pollution, waste management and e-waste control, soil pollution and land degradation as well as environmental permits and licensing, EIA/ESIA and Environmental Management Systems (EMS).

Establish an Environmental Team

The environmental team has a peculiar role of coordinating the environmental programme of the company; monitoring the effectiveness of environmental management plans to prevent and/or minimize inimical environmental impact resulting from the company’s environmental aspects. They identify environmental risks; develop measures to minimize them whilst updating workers and contractors regularly on the environmental goals and targets of the company. They also ensure communication with key stakeholders especially the company’s environmental consultant through the designated management representative.

Monitor Environmental Performance

Monitoring is useful for evaluating environmental performance, determining the immediate and remote causes of environmental risks, identifying non-conformances with environmental management plans with the opportunity to effect corrective actions that are required, and reporting of environmental performance to regulatory agencies. The top Management should ensure that an annual or more frequent management review of environmental management structure is conducted to assess the suitability, adequacy, and effectiveness of the company’s environmental management systems. Such reviews should cover among other things the environmental goals and performance, level of compliance with statutory regulations and industry standards to facilitate the continuous improvement of environmental performance and sustainability of the company.
