Never...there IS no 'Prince of Nigeria' - the whole thing is a well-known scam to milk idiotic, greedy and gullible foreigners of their money by emptying their accounts! The 'Nigerian Scam' usually comes from the supposed wife of a deposed President of Nigeria, beging for help to get family money out of the country and giving the email victim a hefty commission! If you believe the email you were sent...did I tell you I have a bridge in Brooklyn you could buy really cheaply? haha

In one week i had over seventeen of those scam offers - some tell you you've just won a million dollars in a lottery that you didn't enter and have never heard of. Others want you to help them get their money out of the country, etc.etc.etc.
The bottom line is, all of them want your personal information and will try to get access to your bank acount and your credit line, using the ruse that they need your numbers and confirmation numbers (password) to deposit the funds. And you should have already guessed that once you give them that information, you will never hear from them again and you will never see the money in your bank account again, either!

Since the Prince has promised it to me he will have nothing left for the other suckers out there.
niger doesn't have a king so that is highly unlikely he is a prince.

I got one of those emails and replied:
Sorry, I don't speak good French. Only French expression I know is "I Surrender"
No emails for 5 months now, I hope he is alright...

dude this is scam! many already filed a complaint about this one, several Filipinos victimized by this scam.
Their style: They will tell you story and asking you small amount of money to be deposited to bank account, afterwards they will give you fake papers look like it real and ask you again for money bigger & bigger after several procedure example for customs and shits! and until you realize that they ripped you off but it's to late. if you know the sender forward it to the FBI.

No, it's a scam...never respond to those messages. They will want you to pay some kind of fee to initiate the money transfer and that's the last you'll ever see of your money.

yes, but only after you pay a small processing fee to him. of course it's not actually to HIM, it's to his lawyer. and if for some reason you aren't able to come up with ALL the money, his lawyer will cover ALMOST all the fee. because you will be able to reimburse him for the rest once you get your money.

Nooo. It's one of the many scams they have n the internet to get your money, identity, your life. Think about it. Why would a Prince have trouble getting to his money himself without asking a perfect stranger over the internet? Watch it , if it sounds to good to be true it is!
