My nephew will not tell anyone who he is or why he sent him money. I know it is a scam but I have to prove it to my nephew because he is brain injured from a car accident.
This man is from Nigeria and my nephew sent him money through Western Union.I found the mans name in the Nigerian Tribune but I don't know why he was in it.

your nephew got scamed by one of the best 419-scammers. I have gotten emails from he stating he has a large sum of money that needs to be depoisted in a us bank. All you have to do is send money for the customs tag so noone will check the cases.
Check out :www.419-scams.com. His name will be listed there. Sorry he got taken.

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center ( www.fraud.org) These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

Yes, it is a scam. I have Personally recieved e-mails from a man in "Nigeria" saying that he has a bunch of money to give you that he inherited and that he needs some transaction money, or something of that sort, so yes it is a scam, your nephew's money is done for.
