Complaint Review: Fidelity Bank - Central Bank Of Nigeria - Mr.Willie Obiano - Mr. Dunkin A Bali - Delta. Internet

Any email with the mention of big sums of money and are based from Nigeria or any other African country are scams....do not reply to them.....delete them. As they say if it seems to good to be true it probably is...stop and think about it. How many people know anyone in Africa that is going to just send them large amounts of money?? All you do is lose large amounts of money and you can never get it back once it is gone it is gone forever.

The Nigerian 419 scam has reached the modern age. It used to be done via e-mail. I enjoy getting them from folks and will screw with the scammers. I would reccomend searching ebola monkey man on the net. You will find a rather humourous website that will explain the scam, and offer some very funny stories about scamming the scammers.

Safe to assume that you received your $800,000 winnings and all of the money that you got back then?

Please I made a mistake, the bank reported and the gentlemen I reported are not frauds. Please take them out the the fraud. I don't want to ruin their names. My report was a mistake, please take it out!!!!

Ditto the last two posts. You're never getting your money back nor are you getting the 800K. BUT you can have a little fun at the scammers expense and it just might make you feel a little better. Google "scamming the scammers" or "scam baiting" or "419eater"...something along those lines. There you will find people who are messing with scammers to waste their time so they aren't trying to scam others. Basically, have fun with these a-holes! I am sorry you got taken in. I am sure you are wiser for this. Peace!

Renee: Listen to Sarah. She is giving you excellent advice. I'd like to go into a little more detail on a few points that she makes. 1) Do NOT send these people any more money. Do NOT throw good money after bad. You will NEVER receive anything in return. 2) Change your bank account TODAY, not tomorrow. These people can take money out of your account any time they like. You could just as well put all of your money into a wallet and give it to them. 3) Did they tell you to use Western Union? If someone wants you to use a cash transfer service such as Western Union, it is a scam until proven otherwise. Do you know why? Because it is an untraceable transfer of cash. You may think you have receipts, but you don't. Consider this tuition at the school of hard knocks. If you learn a lesson from it, not all is lost. Remember that anyone can tell you anything in email. Don't believe any of it. Never, never, NEVER do any sort of financial transactions based solely on an unsolicited email. Good luck.

You have been the victim of a Nigerian check scam and will likely never see your money again. You cannot win money in a foreign lottery. It's against US federal laws. You will never have to pay to receive a monetary reward. If there is some sort of fee associated with sending the money, why don't they just take it from your winnings? Also, if anyone contacts you and asks you for your personal information, DO NOT GIVE IT TO THEM! If I were you, I'd close my bank account and get a new one. If you gave these blood-suckers your bank account information, they will be able to drain your account. Also, have all three credit bureaus flag your account since you sent your identification to these criminals. They could commit identity theft which would cause you worse trouble than losing a few hundred dollars to try to get fake winnings sent to you.
