Has any one been asked to help them to transfer money from their country to yours? If so, what did you do?

Sure, email me your bank info, and I'll wire you the funds.  Then close your eyes and hold your breath, and wait for the transfer to hit your account.

This is one of the biggest scams around.  You receive a letter that you one a lottery (you start thinking, did I enter one, odds are no) or you receive a letter from someone in a foreign country asking for your help.  Each promises you millions (from the lottery or if you help this foreigner) and all you have to do is provide your checking or savings account number.  Money will be wired into your account and you are an instant millionaire.......NOT!!!  They've just sucked your account dry of all the money you had.  \n\nDon't every reply to these scams unless you want to lose it all!

hey wondemeye\nit is sad to tell you u cant send foreign currency out of the country.I tried last when i was back home but they refused with a vague reason "Ethiopia have very small currency reserve". If it is for Import you can send only through LC statement. they can allow for payments to University's too but only few hundred dollars.\ncheers\nberta

Yes it is defo a scam. I bet he says it's from someone who has deceased and he needs a next of kin( which is you). He will say that you don't need to send any money to him as he's accounted for that and all admin costs etc. Then when you are getting really keen he will say he needs money from you to cover your registration fees as you are a foreigner. Then he will say your cheque is waiting and he needs you to send him some money to cover insurance of the money etc.\nIf you pass this up, you will probably hear from him in a month or two, saying he is doing really well and to thank you for you effort he has given an accountant some money for you. Then they will ask for you to send him money to release your money etc. Bla Bla Bla.\nLook at his email he sent you then look at the time it was sent, go to this site http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/ and look at roughly what country he is in. \nSometime they will say they are in Spain and the time on the Email says it's from Johannesburg.\nEither way no-one gives someone they don't know free money. If you get any other emails promising this sort of thing Delete them immediately and don't open them. If you need any further help please visit my site.  www.bakerinvestigations.co.uk

Regrettably, I'm going to go with you can't. I suppose you could appeal to Nigeria's government, and you should,but they may be powerless. Also consider they unfortunate possiblity you may be too late. Don't send money, and most definitely don't go there yourself.

I would be VERY leery of these people. You may not have heard so I will tell you. There is a scam going on out there where people are preyed upon to "take Payments" for a company. The problem is that the "payments" that come in are bogus checks, stolen money orders, etc. They want you to deposit those funds into YOUR bank account (so that you will get charged with fraud, etc.- instead of them) and then do a wire transfer of the funds into their bank account. Save yourself the heartache- do NOT do it. It isn't a job- it's a scam.

This is a scam.  It is a blanket e-mail that is sent out to a lot of people.  When you respond they will send you another e-mail saying that they received your information and just need to confirm your bank account numbers to transfer the funds.  If you were to send them the information, you would find your account dry by morning.  Unfortunately, there is no way of reporting these people as they work from a total stand point of annonimity.

yes i'll sent you some money.  To make this transaction safe, I'll transfer your money directly to your bank account.  Please send me your banking and personnal information so I can't start sending you the money.

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.

Would you consider sending them to the USA instead? Because if you want them translated into English, you may have some language/cultural barriers that may make translation more difficult.\n\nHere is a website to consider www.guru.com. That is a bidding system, kind of like E-bay where you put a job out for bidding and applicants will bid on the job. You select a person and www.guru.com will be the go-between and you make the payments through their system as well.

As long as you do not have to give them any money or access to bank account all you have to loose is some time you can try it. Personally I do not deal with any websites outside the USA so if things don't work out can always sue them :P

I always stick with Paypal - safer option.\n\nPersonally I wouldn't trust money transfer

Let me guess, they are located in Quebec?  They have been scamming people for years, including me.  Buy, I was lucky and I got my money back.  This is what you do, contact your attorney general's office and also police in Quebec if you can.  Also I know they told you to wire the money... and if they said Western Union I am surprised because they are the people who warned me about the scam.  If it is Western Gram... Money Gram then contact them and give them all the information.  The next step you do is contact the vender in Canada and tell them you wired the money.  When they go to pick it up, make sure you notify the police there and they will get arrested.  \n\nGood Luck and do this ASaP
