Treat any business transaction from Nigeria as a possible scam. There are so many scams originating from there that Nigeria should automatically raise a warning flag. I would not do any business with them. Even if they say they can make you a lot of money. If you are still tempted, talk to your bank first and ask them what their advice is.

There are a lot of these 'SCAMS' on the Internet. Most are from African countries, but others write from supposedly England or Russia.
Don't ever fall for them. Don't reply or give any personal data.
These scammers will claim to give you a percentage of their investments or wills if you process the investment for them. What then happens is that you will be given the info only if you send them a deposit of good faith. Yeah,,right.. good faith!-it goes into their pockets and you'll never see your money again.
Didn't your mother ever tell if something seems too good to be true, it probably is?

yeah, there are many scams going on where people pretend to be from some country in africa, one that has lots of money in some bank and needs you to take it into your account so he or she can get it out or something and they will award you with some percentage, yeah right, hope you didn't fall for that, never heard what would happen tough if you do, never heard a victims story on one of those, but don't fall for it, i think i received at least 3 of those so far in the past years, always a sob story too.
