Union Bank of Nigeria Plc Aka Union Bank Plc still in progress may be a rip-off. Garta Abuja Lagos

I have been told by the bank about my brother's death by heart attack. The bank asked me to contact the attorney and the attorney in turn asked me to send him $1250.00 US as the probate processing papers etc. I did. then asked by the bank to send them $3600.00US as tax fee for the Tax clearance certificate from the federal Govt.

In Nigeria I again tried to talk to some one in the bank and was told by Mr. Lawal Bami not to as it may hinder the process, any way Eddie's death has already given me a blow and I wanted to do what was needed for the closure to help me geton with my life. Bank asked to send them the $3600.00 through Mr. Jolly Azuka The cash manager at the bank. I did.

On doing all that the bank never once talked to me but acknowledged all the e-mails etc. My attorney according to the bank Barrister Tunde Owonbo assured me that everything is coming along fine, and asked me about my account no and routing no of my bank to transfer the funds. Mr. Okoro dike and Mrs Gina Shoga then assured me that the funds have to be transferred by swift transfer so they can not pay their appointed atorney for Eddie his fees to do the job hence I have to send the funds to the bank for getting the Barrister to sign off the clearance to enable the bank to transfer the funds by swift transfer.

There again ended up selling off whatever I owned to compensate Eddie's wishes I sent to the bank in different instalments the money ie $3000.00 US More to the bank to be paid after probate close and signed off and the bank transfer done Now the Barrister asked me to send the bank for insurance etc $475.00 which I did and just when I had sent the $475.00 This ripoff report showed up while i was searching for the branch telephone no.

I hope to God that all this that I have done was the real thing and not all hoax I am in total out of about $10,000.00US. I just hope to God that there is a bright end to this and if this is a rip-off someone actually take care of this kind of terroristic act on peoples' minds by the banks around the world as these kind of acts do promote the very terrorists acts we are trying to prevent.
