Anything that comes out of Nigeria is a scam.Be careful about the UK also because they use that as an address for scams. Lotteries are also scams. Use your head when you get emails like that.

Any site with a ridiculously high interest rate has to be a scam. If you want a secure investment that you can withdraw at anytime, you are not going to get above ~4.50% a YEAR at current rates.  This Government site discusses some of the scams out there.\nSolidinvestment.com is in Belize. It's a banana republic.  I'd rather invest in Nigeria...

why would you buy dogs from nigeria to start with\n\nbut with that said, Nigeria is also known for more internet scams and frauds than any other place on earth.\n\nand of course there is no way to do anything about it, unless you wish to travel to Nigeria and attempt to sue her in court there.

"The United States Federal Trade Commission has issued a consumer alert about the Nigerian scam. It says: "If you receive an offer via email from someone claiming to need your help getting money out of Nigeria — or any other country, for that matter — forward it to the FTC at spam@uce.gov."\n\nThe United States Department Of The Treasury advises "You may also email the 419er documents, especially any banking data they may have given you, marked as described above, to Task Force Main in DC 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov; that is also acceptable."

can't really answer your question, but to me it sounds like a variation of the "Nigerian" Scam, you wire the money and then never see it or any of the supposed inheritance money, ever.\n\nTry looking the bank up online, then spend the money on an international phone call to see if such an account really exists.  Once you know one way or the other, you will know which way to proceed.

The bank exists. But be careful about answering any information or giving any to any one. acaheck it out real close. You could save yourself a lot of grief by listening to the advice of  vsjunk23  \n\n\nABIDJAN, 1 Feb 2002 (IRIN) - The World Bank has resumed full economic cooperation with Cote d'Ivoire, the bank's office in Abidjan announced on Friday, one day after the country paid in full arrears amounting to FCFA 31 billion (US $44.5 million) that it owed the institution.\n\nMamadou Dia, head of operations in Abidjan, said at a news conference in the Ivorian commercial capital that the arrears were paid via a bridge financing that involved the Central Bank of West African States and the Swiss-based Bank for International Settlements. The debt settlement will allow "the total resumption of disbursements for all of the World Bank's portfolios in Cote d'Ivoire totalling an as-yet undisbursed sum of FCFA 200 billions (about US $270 million)", Dia said. It will also permit the Ivorian government to benefit from new loans and credits, render the country eligible for the Highly Indebted Poor Countries initiative, and allow it to implement a multisectorial HIV/AIDS programme.\n\nThe World Bank stopped funding Cote d'Ivoire in October 2000 after the then military-led government failed to make payments for over 60 days on the arrears.\n\nFriday's announcement is the latest indication of an improvement in relations between the country and international lenders, many of whom had severed ties with Abidjan in recent years. \n\nThe aid freeze, which started in 1998 when the European Union suspended disbursements following the embezzlement of some FCFA 18 billion (US $24.3 million), worsened in the aftermath of the December 1999 coup d'etat. Analysts agree that efforts toward socio-political and macroeconomic reforms, begun by the current government, are slowly paying off. The European Union is expected to resume full cooperation by the end of this quarter.

It is not real.  The same with all the scam e-mails from Nigeria!  Contact your national Communications Trade Agency.  They would provide information where to report this scam.

The only Nigerian small business that I know about might not even be Nigerian.  It's something about a bank closing or funds moving and this guy wants me to move the money to the US where it will supposedly be safer and I will get a cut of the money if I just open up my bank account so they can deposit all the the millions and millions of dollars.  It sounded like embezzling though, so I lost interest...

Its a SCAM!  Don't get involved.\n\nI have heard of several people who have lost money due to their involvement in these matters.  Or, actually get into legal trouble due to their involvement in these matters.\n\nThis type of email solicitation is not limited to Nigerians.  In fact, both Eastern Europe and Asia are another hot bed of activity regarding this kind of Scamming.  If you receive an email regarding any foreigners (in general) pleading for your assistance my advice would be that you delete the email and not respond.
