DO NOT SEND THESE FAKERS ANY MORE MONEY. THEY ARE JUST CON ARTISTS WHO LIED TO YOU TO GET YOUR MONEY BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THEY DO. DO NOT SHOW UP IN LONDON OR THEY MIGHT DRUG YOU AND SELL YOU INTO THE HUMAN TRAFFICKING MARKET OR SOMETHING! THIS IS THE CLASSIC NIGERIAN INHERITANCE SCHEME. DO NOT SEND THESE VERY BAD PEOPLE ANOTHER DIME! THEY ARE CRIMINALS I AM SORRY YOU LOST YOUR MONEY BUT THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO, THEIR COUNTRY WILL NOT PROSECUTE THEM BECAUSE THEY NEED THE MONEY TOO. Block their e-mails and be glad that you didn't end up being sold as a slave to somebody in Africa or the Middle East. AND NEVER MAKE THIS MISTAKE AGAIN. IF IT IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE,IT PROBABLY IS. IF YOU DIDN'T HAVE A RELATIVE BY THAT NAME, THEN YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE ANSWERED ANYWAY. MOAT CON MEN PLAY ON YOUR GREED.

I think you're money is GONE, GONE, GONE. This is a famous scam. What they do is entice you into helping them commit fraud against an estate that doesn't exist. They tell you somone with the same surname passed away with gobs of cash but they can't find an heir. So they contact you and entice you to pretend you're a legitimate heir to this estate and that the'll split the estate monies with you. Your problem is 2 fold. One, there was never any estate-it's a scam and any monies you wired to them is GONE. 2. You were complicit in committing a fraud (if there were an actual estate) because you were NOT a legitimate heir to this estate. You're not gonna get much help, if any, from INTERPOL or anyone else as regards to getting your money back. A co-worker of mine when I worked at an autoparts manufacturer fell for this. He went so far as to FLY TO LONDON to make another installment and go to a bank to get his "bank draft" for the cash. Of course, his "contact" vanished. He contacted the London police and INTERPOL. Both organizations basically told him "so sad, to bad" and told him to go back home to the U.S.
