    Rule of thumb olieono2,

    NEVER trust someone from Nigeria over the Internet.

    99.9% of them are scams.

    I'd be willing to bet that this too is a scam. And if you know me, I don't bet unless I am reasonably sure on the outcome.

    Read though the letters below and see if they sound something like what you have been getting, they will pretend to be male, female, young, old anything you need. If they need a young girls voice for a phone call they even hire someone to do the job for them.

    If a person had to pay a fee to get a large sum back they can just go to a local bank like you and I would and use this as reason for a loan, Nigeria has all the banking and systems we have avialable to us. They don't need someone from another nation that they have never meet. They have lawyers and courts there just like we do here in the US

    I get about 4 scam letters a day because I get all of the religious ones, people wanting this or that, others wanting to give to the church and so on.

    Here are several ( and there were 100's I could have posted) using the exact information you had provided.
    If you want to provide, or provide me in private PM I will look up the persons name, city and other info and see if that same name is being used in other scams already known

    And if you have a real person needing help I can provide a pastor in Nigeria that she can go see.
