I got an email that said one of my relatives died and left me $5,000,000! can you believe that??? they said they'd deposit the money right into my bank account...they just needed to test it first with $10,000. so i sent it by wire over to them, how long does it normally take for this process to work? in other words, WHEN DO I GET MY MONEY?!?!?!?! :-D

Stupid, Stupid, Stupid, a big no no I'm afraid your not going to ever see your bogus $5,000,000 let alone the $10,000 you just wired over to Nigeria I wish you would have posted this question before you did anything and because I know alot of ppl (including me) would have stopped you, this happened to my mum when she was selling a laptop and this person from Nigeria tried to get her to send it over before they would deposit the money, I guarantee this is a hoax so the best thing I can reccommend is go down to your bank and see if they can retrieve it back, another option is get a lawyer, he should be able to contact the american embassy in Nigeria and suss it out, if you can't afford a lawyer (since you wired all your money to Nigeria), contact your foreign affairs they should be able to help you out, but don't get your hopes up and even if you do get it back, It will take months even years, and you'll probably be payin out for lawyers and such and such..., all I can say is get advice before doing anything like this again, because you will be getting alot of stress over this.
Hope It goes well.

THAT WAS A SCAM!!! That scam has been going on for a VERY LONG Time.
I am soooo sorry!!! Well, chances are that if you have an extra $10,000 to send to Nigeria, you probably arent poor like the rest of us..Just cut your losses and count your blessings.
Peace

that's scam. they email hundred of thousands of these emails out hoping for one fool to answer. I guess they got a live one when they found you. you need to watch 60 Minutes more often they had a segment about that scam. if you really send them money you will never see a dime of it again, your screwed.

Are you sure that the money they left you is in U.S. dollars? You'll want to check with whomever you sent it through. They can tell you a rough estimate of when it will work.

it truly is a scam. the easy commute Allowance (BTA) basically exists interior the minds of SCAMMERS. perchance they have have began calling it a PTA, own commute Allowance. the two way it truly is a scam. I recommend you decrease all verbal replace with who ever despatched you the e mail, upload them to your blocked checklist and tighten up your pc protection.
