Answer 1

Why don't you just "rest and recover" and be more careful on who you pick a fight with in future

Answer 2

Just google "nigeria 419" and you'll get the big picture.

Here are the basics of the 419:

The perpetrators of Advance Fee Fraud (AFF), known internationally as "4-1-9" fraud after the section of the Nigerian penal code which addresses fraud schemes, are often very creative and innovative.


Unfortunately, there is a perception that no one is prone to enter into such an obviously suspicious relationship. However, a large number of victims are enticed into believing they have been singled out from the masses to share in multi-million dollar windfall profits for doing absolutely nothing. It is also a misconception that the victim's bank account is requested so the culprit can plunder it -- this is not the primary reason for the account request -- merely a signal they have hooked another victim.


In almost every case there is a sense of urgency.

The victim is enticed to travel to Nigeria or a border country.

There are many forged official looking documents.

Most of the correspondence is handled by fax or through the mail.

Blank letterheads and invoices are requested from the victim along with the banking particulars.

Any number of Nigerian fees are requested for processing the transaction with each fee purported to be the last required.

The confidential nature of the transaction is emphasized.

There are usually claims of strong ties to Nigerian officials.

A Nigerian residing in the U.S., London or other foreign venue may claim to be a clearing house bank for the Central Bank of Nigeria.

Offices in legitimate government buildings appear to have been used by impostors posing as the real occupants or officials.

The most common forms of these fraudulent business proposals fall into the following main categories:

Disbursement of money from wills

Contract fraud (C.O.D. of goods or services)

Purchase of real estate

Conversion of hard currency

Transfer of funds from over invoiced contracts

Sale of crude oil at below market prices

If you need to ask then you must have your doubts about the honesty of her request. Go with your gut feeling, and if it helps, in my opinion, run like mad!! Don't even consider it. That's my gut feeling.
