Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
It's the basic Nigeria, Lagos scam as far as I can tell. There was supposedly some guy from El Salvador for whom no heir could be found. So they just needed someone to claim the money. Anyone with any sense knows that would be fraud for whoever tried to claim it having no ties to the deceased.

Barrister Jude Chike was the freak who tried to get me. He did at least make an attempt at being intelligent however. If I didnt have enough sense to know that no one is going to offer to give you a couple million dollars just for the sake of it, I might have fallen for it. I decided to see just how good he was. I asked for documentation of the event, as well as fund certificates. Impressively he came up with some. It wouldnt be particularly hard to forge such things with a scanner, printer, or webcam. But he gave it some effort.

After about 6 emails from him, and 3 from the supposed Accounting officer of Union Bank plc of Lagos Niger, a Mr Franklin Okafor, in which they detailed how things were going and how I was close to inhereting the money, (haha) they finally got around to asking ME for money.

My first attempt to make them double step was to tell them to extract the money for the "tax" out of the account. After all, according to them it was already mine, it was just a matter of getting it here. That didnt go over well. (hehe)

My second trap was to assure them I would send the money, 750$, just as soon as they gave me the account #, bank phone #, and bank address so I could have my bank verify its existence. Strangely enough this made them angry; what a suprise. They of course refused to give said information and demanded I send them 750$ or the transaction would be cancelled. To which I responded how can you cancel, having already (according to them) made me the legal beneficiary.

A day later Barrister Jude Chike offered to pay the 750$ as long as I would still split the money with him. Suprisingly, (sarcasm) no money has shown up on my door step.

I found humor in the situation. There were too many inconsistencies for it to be real, but both people went right on as if I was just too stupid to pick up on them; even after I was catching them in their own lies.
