i'm not sure who you should send the information to but if you have a way of contacting the Nigerians than you should report them immediately. Maybe the authorities can investigate and use this to pretend to make a deal and bust them. Surely you have seen MSNBC ?
These are almost always SCAM ARTISTS. They have defrauded many people, one case was a doctor. Hard to believe someoene with advanced education would fall victim.
Also, on Oprah recently was the Romancescams.com
Nigeria is a lot of unemployed and they all go to cyber cafes and scam people full time for jobs. Be very careful.

There are no legimate loans to be had from Nigeria. All of the "lenders" are scammers that are sitting at an interenet cafe.
They will "approve" you for a loan at a very low interest rate but the will require a fee to process the loan. Once you pay the fee, they disappear and you are in worse financial shape.

That is a scam to get your bank account info. You send them the numbers so that they can make a direct deposit of millions of dollars into your account, and instead they withdraw your savings. You will really need a loan then.
If you have poor credit and need a loan, maybe you could look into a place that does credit counseling and they could help you out.

For heaven's sake, Nigeria is the scammer capital of the world! It sounds too good to be true because it is. Don't get sucked into this kind of thing.

Their offers are too good to be true. They are not true.
They are scams. They will take your credit card number and bank account numbers, drain your bank account and run up your credit cards.
THIS IS A SCAM!!!!
