One of the frauds out of Nigeria.

One of them claims to be from an FBI office there.

Answer 2

I've always heard "if it looks to good to be true it probably is" I get these emails all the time. I would like to know if there are any agencies looking into this fraud. We used to get them in the mail at our business and would forward them to the Postmaster to investigate.

Yes, Unfortunately, most Nigerian e-mail is fraudulent. Internet fraud is a cottage industry there.
