Only use them if you are in trouble with the law for money laundering yourself.  That way you can plea bargain into immunity to pin all of it on them.

its probably not true...most of those are hoaxes or jokes that will ask for your bank account number and take a bunch of money instead of put some in like they promise...i would ignore it, you wont get any money. sorry! : (

are you crazy?\nthere are so many scams out there\nespecially on the net\nmost are from Nigeria now but there are some Canada \nmost of them are trying to get funds or info so they can raid your accounts & sell your personal info to others\none old guy about 85 yrs\nhis family had to go to court to keep him from losing everything to a scheme based on the minister of finance in nigeria that died & his wife needed help in paying bribes to get their funds out of the country\nhe had ben promised a share

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.

I hate to say this but I don't know myself but whomever they are, I think they are trying to rob me. I didn't sign up for anything from that "company" and just recently I saw an attempt to withdraw $159 from my banking account. Since then I have been searching for the company and location and names but I haven't found anything yet. If I do I will be sure to pass it along to you and anyone else that has had problems with this "company."

They are scams! This is known sometimes as the Nigeria Scam cos they tell you things like your distant family died, some high official needs a foreign bank account,etc. People have died in such scams so don't fall for it!!

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.

As has already been said, if you are even thinking of responding to an unsolicited e-mail regarding a big sum of money and a promise that you'll receive a big chunk of it FORGET IT! You will lose your money.\n\nHowever, if there is a legitimate reason why you wish to deal with this bank and are trying to confirm its address then you might want to visit www.firstbanknigeria.com and check out their branch address search. I see no Abuja listed. I do see Abia.

They are definately a scam.I have gotten several.Don't respond.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.

Nope. It's a scam. The Nigerians want money and will anything to get it. I once heard that in Nigeria, you have to bribe with money, to get hired for a job, or to do anything else.

In case you missed the sarcasm in the last post, I strongly advise you to make sure you are not about to ripped off.  I am willing to bet that you have been approached by somebody offering to give you lots of money if you only first give them a small amount of money.  I'm sure that less than $80 seems like a small investment to make $20,000 USD or whatever.  If this is what you are involved in, run away now!  Read up on Nigerian scams.\n\nI hope I am wrong.

This is 99.9 % likely to be one of these Nigerian scams. Ignore ignore ignore.\n\nI'm modifying this to 100% once I read your question more carefully.  These scams have been going for years, but some people still fall for them.

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.
