Good God.  This is another Nigerian scam.  They are going to want your name and mailing address, and depending on what kind of scam they are trying to pull off are either going to send you a fake money order to cash and/or are going to ask you to wire transfer money via Western Union.  This guy is a scammer and wants to steal your money.  I play games with these clowns all the time, and make them chase after fake money transfers and string them along until I get sick of their stupidity.  if you want to mess with them, never give them your real name or any other real personal information.  Everything about these jokers is fake. Be warned.

I have a client in this situation right now.  He fell for the scam.  Once the money has left the U.S. (usually it goes to Lagos, Nigeria) the information I have obtained is that is it untraceable... even by Western Union.

"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.

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...

If you got this information in an email, it's a scam!  Please be careful.  They usually claim that there is a large amount of money that they need to transfer to your bank account.  If you did get it in an email, go to this site:  www.419.bittenus.com\nAlso, report the person both to wherever the email address is from (hotmail, yahoo, et cetera), and to wherever you hold your email account.\nIt's not likely that a person could be registered as an attorney in both Nigeria and UK.

yes, but read the person's comments first. if it seems like a shady deal, it probably is. there are lots of legitimate people out there selling stuff though.

Since you in west africa that might be very very hard for you to invest. Most companies allow you to sign up online, I use Sogoinvest.com but you'll have to look at a company that does this in your country. I'm sure theres one company that does it.

You sound like you received the ages old Nigerian chain letter telling you they will give you a percentage of money if you just give them a valid account number to put money into. DO NOT BELIEVE IT! \n\nThat is why the scam works, is because they get suckers to put a few thousand bucks in an account, then you give them access, and they take your money out and it ends up in Africa or Hong Kong, or some other country that does not have as strict rules on businesses as in North America.\n\nCheck out the FBI website, or in Canada the RCMP website and they can give you some good info on what types of scams are going on and what to do about them.\n\nImagine their email reaches just 100,000 people. Out of that only 1% respond and they manage to steal $1000 per person, that is still a $1,000,000 jackpot for them.

It's almost certainly a scam, yes. Especially when you consider you can get a webcam for a lot less than that. As far aas the exchange rate thing goes, it shouldn't matter because it was quoted in $US. If it's quoted in US dollars than that's just what it is, forget exchange rates.

It is spam. They are attempting to get your bank details and steal your money.\n\nI currently have loads of relatives in Nigeria that have recently died and want to give me $30 million.\n\nI wish......

Surely, the existence of merchant accounts overseas is normal, but I'd be cautious about working with someone who is offering services as an offshore entity unless you're confident they are a legitimate entity.  There's lots of room for fraud, going this route.

"reliable" and "Nigeria" are two different ballparks pal. I would also like to point out this is not a scam, like retard jennifer so cleverly intimated, he is asking how to send his own money

It is an old trick and  I am surprised there are still people falling for it. Even after the check is cleared and your account is credited, the transaction can still be reversed. The banks make sure they never lose. \n\nAll the countries in Africa seem to be getting into this scum now. Apparently the $billions we give in aid are not enough to keep them in sufficient luxury. Most of it goes to their leaders. But keep quiet about this as the liberals will start shouting "racism". \n\nAs regards your case, you have the name and address of the buyer and of the carrier, so take it up with the police. Also ask for a meeting with your bank manager and tell him his bank is implicated and what help is he going to give? The check can be traced backwards.

In my experience, anything coming out of Nigeria involving money is probably a scam. Fortunately, your English is so atrocious that you won't be able to attract customers.

YOU ARE BEING SCAM GIRL!!!!!!!\n\nhttp://www.letusreason.org/Current35.htm\n\nScams from Nigeria\n\nSomething you need to be aware of are email letters sent from Nigeria (usually from Lagos). They are written with a story about a millionaire who wants to deposit millions to help your ministry.  I have been asked by a number of ministries if these letters are legit, no-they are not. It seems that Nigeria has gained a reputation for these scams and other sorted stories to make money off religion.\n\n The Nigerian money-laundering scam is not new, it began before the Internet. You get a letter, explaining how some deposed leader (usually he was from Nigeria) left his homeland with much cash and needs to deposit it in a bank. By allowing him to use your bank account to deposit the funds, you get a certain percentage of what they have, but it is really what they want from you, because they have nothing to give!\n\nNowadays, for Christians they send a email saying they converted from Islam and have a lot of cash they want to give to a ministry for the Lord. It starts off saying something like this -I was a Moslem or a retired military top officer in the Nigerian Army. The letter may have a heading of Confidential or Top Secret or some other eye catching phrase. In it they write that they sold all the properties after someone's death, or gained a great inheritance and are looking to invest  into God's work as instructed by the owner, is $10,000,000.00 (Ten million US dollars). Some will say I was able to divert up to $45,000,000.00 (Forty Five million U.S Dollars, into my personal Bank Account, hoping to invest the money when I’m retired. They may even mention the International Bank and give you a phone number. Of course they need you bank account number. Don’t give it to them, don’t even entertain these liars even if they say there is an urgency for this transaction. These email letters are NOT legit, and if you look in the code in the back you can usually tell where it was sent, this should be reported.  \n\nWhat these scammers want is your banking info, when they get it there will be a withdrawal, not from their account but yours.  Imagine someone who does not know you wanting to deposit over 10-30 million dollars in your account. That's better than the lottery, you didn't have to buy a ticket. I get at least 4-8 of these letters a week. What I do when and if I answer them (most are trashed or reported) is I trade letters for fun. I send each solicitation letter to the other person and tell them to work it out among themselves. However, they should be reported to the FBI or other agencies that cover these matters. \n\nThere are a number of sites that are on top of these scams and others and should be referred before you do anything  www.hoaxbusters.ciac.org,    www.truthorfiction.com., and www.urbanlegends.com
