My inbox is filled many times with email telling me how to obtain money that was left to me by a relative.

After I sent an email to the address in the letter I soon received another telling me of a Dr. Ahmed who had been a close friend of the Attorney General. Upon learning of the death of the AG Dr. Ahmed told me of the purpose of his contacting the AG. It seemed that Dr. Ahmed was a high government official in Lagos and had control of a large sum of petroleum US dollars which was the result of the failure of the Petroleum Commission of Nigeria. The sum was eight million US dollars.5USD of which he was willing to give me ten per cent if I would only help in getting this money out of Nigeria.

After many emails back and forth I told Dr. Ahmed wanted me to assist him in transferring a fund of $8.5 million USD to America. I wanted to catch Ahmed in his own trap because I was sure that he was a crook and his proposal was a scam.

I was issued many official documents complete with Nigerian Letter Head and seals of the Government of Nigeria.

It was not until I carried all the documents I had received to an attorney who told me of the scams coming out of Nigeria and that I should be cautious.

The last correspondence I had with Ahmed was when he told me that it would require a fee of $4800.00 to be paid in advance of transmitting the funds to America. When I told Ahmed that I was not interest on the telephone he began angry and started screaming that he had spent much money and time in trying to help me with the transferring of the fund. Ahmed became upset and began screaming about how much money and time he had spent in trying to get the money out of Nigeria. This was a conversation over the telephone which Ahmed had begun using with a secret code when I would answer the phone and a secret code I would utter when he answered.

If you know of anyone thinking of entertaining the thought of entering into any of these scams please let them know that these scams have been going on for years and only those who almost were caught up in them really know that they are nothing but scams.
