Answer 1

"Payment routing number & Giro number" are the sorts of terms used by Nigerian con-merchants ...

Unless you are 100% sure you are dealing with a legitimate deal, I suggest you think again

FYI - there are no "email lotteries" (and you can't win any real lottery without FIRST buying a ticket .. and no real lottery asks you to pay to receive your winnings ("If you pay me £1000, I'll send you your £1 million winnings" ... what sort of moron falls for this ???? ... why not just send me £999,000 instead ?? :-) )
... and it's extreamley unlikely that some unknown relative has died leaving your £1,000,000 in notes or Gold bricks (or diamonds from Amsterdam) and you have to pay some Courier fee ..
... and you can be 100% sure than any 'Business Cheque' drawn on a Nigerian bank will be 'discovered' to be fake months later and the payment WILL be reversed ...

and you should NEVER EVER send money by Western Union (because that's the one payment that CAN'T be reversed)


If you are 1000% sure it's legit, talk to your Bank


EDIT - and no legit Company in the world sends random emails to random people 'confirming' loans or offering jobs :-)
