It's a scam. You give them your bank details under the guise of their transferring the funds to your account. They then clean out your account and are gone into the night. Or they dupe you into paying "fees" for bribes, transfers, etc. Or both, most likely.

It is a huge theft attempt that is a worldwide issue, ironically I just read a newspaper article about that again the other day. Good Luck.

Friend,If it sounds to good to be true it probably is. This approach to larceny is despicable.If you give them the info,account no.,etc. they rob you. I wish I had a key on my keyboard that set there azz on fire when I get these things! Don't do It it's a blatant rip off.

Identity Theft, primarily. Then to get money from you.
