I received an e-mail telling me I was entitled to 5.5 Million USD if I was appointed next-of-kin to a Mr. Peter K. Basden. I responded back and forth for about 2 weeks. They sent me all the legal documents stating I was appointed next of kin (i.e. death certificate, sworn affid. from court appointing me next-of-kin, claim affid. from Union Bank of Nigeria stating someone from Abbacus Finance, UK in London would be contacting me for payment schedule)... at first I really thought I may be inheriting a great sum of money... then I told them I was taking all of this to my lawyer to be cleared by my government. Then I found some rip-off reports on this web site and realized it really was a scam.
I made sure I e-mailed the scam report to the person that was e-mailing me with this bogus info. I haven't heard from them since. Everyone please beware of this scam... it can really drag you in. Thanks to this web site I was not victimized.

I received an E-mail from an (SO CALLED)attorney named ( BARRISTER WILLIAMS EGO (ESQ))telling me I was entitled to 21 million USD if I was appointed as the next of kin to a Jim Dandridge, and also stated that Mr Dandridge worked with a shell development in Nigeria. Also stated that Mr Dandridge and his family was killed in an car accident along Sagbama express-road and that all occupants in the vehicle lost their lives.
I reponded back and forth for about 4 days. I was sent legal document also stated that the court appointed me the next of kin and the someone from the bank would be contacting me for payment.
At first I really wanted to believe that this was really happening to me, cause I'm getting married next year and it would've been nice to start our new life together in a house of our dreams, have a big wedding like we always wanted too, Plus put some money away for our 3 kids education.
What made me realize something wasn't right is when the bank called and stated that I would have to pay 1,100.00 for the transfer fees of the money to me.
When I asked to bank to take it out of the money that I've inheritanced. They told me that they had NO RIGHT TO DEDUCT MONEY FROM MY INHERITANCE FUND, and the only way this was going to work in I wired them the money first.
I would like to say THANK GOD that I found this web site, and didn't become a victim.
What I think Rip Off Report should do is contact 20/20 and have them do an report about this scam. So the world will know.

I as well received this persistant letter from this "man", Patrick Diallo, who told me that I was to receive 28.3 million dollars and made fun of me because I as well seeked an attorney's advice. I begged Saint Jude for help and low and behold I he did. That was when I found this web site which probably saved me from some nasty criminal types. Thank God! Others please beware!

I too have recieve this type of e-mail from nigeria about a deceased person with the same last name as mine. A lawyer from this country continuosly ,twice a week, about returning a response. I did some snooping around and discovered the only relative I have outside the U.S. is in Europe. Iam African American but has no people on my family tree even close to Nigeria. I just happen to see this info while just brosing (ooops) the rip-off report 9/15/04.

Lana, I too received that e-mail from same bank,
for 16 milliion, and i thought."This can't be right
simply because, I have my last name through marriage, so how can leave me as next of kin,when
my ex is still alive w/siblings even". It just goes to show us that people will try any and everything to make a buck. I'm glad that you were
not sucked into anything. CONSUMER BEWARE!!!!!!!
