I've been contacted by a Nigerian Bank Manager who claims that I have inherited money from a dead relative I haven't heard from in awhile. They want to put money into my account and are contacting me persistently. They even called me. They want me to proceed with the arrangement. I think that this must be some kind of scam. I can not find out any info from relatives about my nephew dieing a few years back over in Nigeria. I think that if I were stupid enough to follow through they would then ask for personal info. I know that this would not be the right thing to do. I could contact my lawyer. I think something should be done legally about scam artists if this is what they are doing.

this is an OLD scam, they will then ask you for money to open a bank account or for taxes or for the bank manager to travel to your place to give you the cash...

It's a scam, send the e-mail or letters to the appropriate law enforcement agency and don't give the scammers your bank info (which is what they are after). Nye

It repaets itself every 2-3 years looking for new victims.
I got 28 of them in the last month and reprted everyone of them to the email carrier for fraud

I have gotten the same notice in my email for the last couple of weeks. The best thing to do is delete, delete and delete.
