In letter there is information that somewhere in bank of nigeria are some money (huge money) which must be send to me as a owner. I must say that many years ago I believe those liars and try to help. I even send them money to pay some documents. It was big amount for me which I send. Of course I lost it because I send money twice and everytime was something more to be paid. Money which I send was borrowed and I lost that. Now after years I still have financial troubless because of that. Collectors from bank want me to pay back but I can't because I have no money.

On this time, years ago I even go to other country about 1000miles away to pick up the person from the airport, of course this person was not in aircraft. Spend money for petrol which was borrowed as well. Because of that all troubles I lost house, wife take my son and find some other friend to live.

I stay all alone, my problems because of my stupid stay with me, and will stay forever because I have no chance to pay back all this debts which I make. Now as lonely bent person want to say anyone who has receive a similar message, do not trust them, they just want to scam You. They have no feelings and don't care what going to hapend with You if You do same stupid think like I did. Im 29 years old person which lost everything, 29 years old bankrupt!

Wife left me because I make so huge debts and take my son away from me, all savings, job, and past last four years everyday debt collectors wisiting me to pay back money which I don't have. I lost my life because is no chance to earn so much money and pay back that debts. For some people this money are not big but for my was and are beyond my possibilities to earn. Im sure there is more people like me which lost everything because they believe promises of better life, don't be another. Don't trust them.
I also want to alert you on the fact that you will be receiving an overdraft check, which will cover the money for the pickup (pickup and shipping to the final destination) as well as the money to be paid to the company that will take care of the pickup and the documentation with you. So please, as soon as you receive the payment, go and cash it immediately, deduct the money that accrues to you, and send the balance to the Head Office of the company that handles the shipment via Western union.The check will be in your name to make it easier for you to receive payment, please reconfirm your details one more time.I will give you the details of the company that will make the pickup as soon as we seal this deal.Once the money is received by the agent, the shipping agent will contact you immediately to arrange the documentation as well as the pick up immediately. So in view of the above, here are some ofthe details I will need for final issuance of the check or money order
to you.

(1) Full Name
(2) Mailing address, no p.o.box please
(3) your direct telephone number both home and cell.?
{4} Acceptance of my offer
(5} Final asking price

Once you get back to me with all the above, the check or money order will be issued out immediately and it will be sent to you .Hope to hear from you immediately.Looking forward to your swift response i will also be offering you extra $50 for keeping Furniture for me till the shipper comes for the pick up.., I will be looking forward to your swift response
..

Avijit
We have received a similar email from the same person who gave us the same details. Even the parcel number which we had to claim is the same.How can parcel number be the same for two different claims? If we are in Chennai, what is the need to get down at Mumbai?
How does he have a new number(Mumbai) immediately after he reaches airport? These are the questions we need to think about.

Before sending any details please check the identity and report immediately in case its a fraud.
pls advice me is it true or we have to trust them
