You're kidding right?!
Why in the world would you give a stranger your social security # AND you bank account information?!
Scams like this are rampant on the internet, especially those from Nigeria.
You better close the bank account and start monitoring your credit reports for fraud.

haha.
Maybe you should send him a relatives ss# and bank account info as well. THat'll hurry him up.
It is sad though that you can't really tell if people are kidding or not about sending "Nigerian Bankers" their info.

You've been scammed. You need to contact the three credit repositories and put a fraud alert on your account. Here are the websites:
http://www.equifax.com/cs/Satellite?c=EFX_ContentRoot&cid=1165203975981&pagename=5-1%2F5-1_Layout
http://www.transunion.com/corporate/personal/consumerSupport/help/contactUs.page
http://www.experian.com/customer_service/faq.html#3
Each web page is the fraud alert section, you can complete the information as needed to put an alert on your credit report. This lets potential lenders know that someone has obtained your information as to obtain proper identification before issuing any credit in your name.
In addition, contact your bank right away and close the account and say your information has been obtained by a thief who may be trying to steal your identity.

HA! In truth, they'd probably get back to you VERY quickly if anyone actually did that. They'd take every opportunity to get even more money from the ignorant.
