It's a scam. And it's illegal. You SHOULD tell the police. Safety deposit boxes are federal regulated, and governed by the FDIC. He is using you to hide money because since Sept 11th, foreign countries, and its people cannot send money directly into a US bank account. Terrorists would not have succeeded in 2001, if they had not had a huge stockpile of funds sitting in a US bank account!!!
*** It now has to go through Homeland's Security check and balance system, and fill out tons of paperwork;and there is a limit on how much you can import to the account; and banks must fully disclose every deposit regardless of amount. Lots of businesses outside the US and private individuals who want to put a bunch of money in an American bank are now forbidden to.
So, everyone is trying to illegally smuggle money into our country. If you read your question for the first time, like I did, you would see the obvious illegality of it all. Be safe. and please...don't do it!

I marketed something on Craigslist, and have been given an digital mail from somebody who had to deliver a representative with a money order to %. it up, sight unseen. Had scam written throughout it. I merely deleted the digital mail as quickly as i found out what he had to do. the 1st emal merely indicated interest, the 2nd became the telling one as quickly as I spoke back to the 1st. in no way ever provide a telephone # or handle in Craigslist, do merely the digital mail and attempt to appreciate who the customer or broking is formerly you're making certainly touch. Scammers everywhere!

If you think about this rationally, you would realize it makes no sense at all.
Most of the worlds worst and most successful scams originate in Nigeria.
Delete any emails, don't reply to phone messages and don't give any personal information - not even your full name.

Yah its a scheme, ive seen multiple articles on this, and I get solicited for these things at least 4 or 5 times daily. They just want your name, phone number etc, a picture of yourself sometimes, its part of a giant identity theft scheme. Why would he give you 20 million dollars, and Nigeria? lolol yah right.

If it sounds too good to be true- chances are it is.
Stay very far away from this idea.
