A word of warning - do not ever meet or give any personal details to these people.

These are highly organised gangs, who will scam you for huge sums of money - they are often violent and heavily armed. Kidnap and murder are very real risks if you meet with them.

People have been kidnapped after meeting with them - they've been offered a lift to collect some money from a bank - and have instead been taken at gun point. Others have been threatened with murder if they do not empty their bank accounts for them.

Invitiations to visit Nigeria are common - and once there foreigners get a really bad deal.

Got this reply today:





Dear McCracken,


Greetings and thanks for an expedited reply. I ask to present you as the next of kin to Mr Pitt McCracken(Blessed be his name); my client. I owe him and myself a duty not to let all he labored for while on earth be confiscated by the finance company where he deposited the money. I have been buying time using all legal tools at my disposal to stall this fund from being written off by the financial company and tagged unserviceable which is admissible in Law. I am afraid that I have gotten more than enough exparte motions and injunctions to restrain this financial company from the imminent confiscations this fund will surely face in the event of no claim for it by my client's relations of his appointed benefactor.


I formally seek your consent to present you henceforth as the benefactor of my client and follow all the legal tricks till the money is paid. In the event of your expected consent I will forward an application form which you will fill religiously and forward to the finance company for the commencement of the process of fund transfer.

At this point and considering the nature of this expected agreement, there arises a need for a constant communication between us at least for me to keep abreast with the proceedings as you will be dealing directly with the finance company shortly after the submission of the application form. Theus, I expect you to give me your phone number so that I can give you a call, But meanwhile, you can call me on my phone number --- 234-803-4725317.

Let me quickly let you know that I have an interest in the money $13Million USD, we shall discuss terms and I assure you that we shall come out of it smiling. In anticipation of a conclusive deal , I expect your immediate response


Best regards
Barr. Collins





Someone call the number... :D I am too scared.
