I have and inheritance in Africa that is not a scam. How can the funds be transferred thru a credit card and don't someone have to have an expiration date and the 3 #'s on the back to charge anything on the card. Please ask an expert if you know one, I need to know as soon as possible like yesterday. PLEASE!

1. You can't transfer funds internationally through a credit card
You would need some kind of wire. So with that said....
Be EXTREMELY careful to who you give our credit card number to SPECIALLY your CVV (3#s on the back) number because that smells 100% like a scam!!

If it is for real it can be transferred thru the bank which has the money...no need for a credit card...it usually only cost about $35 to wire transfer money from one country to another...you don't pay taxes on it until taxes are due...it might be a scam
