Is there anyone in the forum that could possibly help me with some information.

Does anyone know anything about Osun, Nigeria? Is the place that all of the scams are coming from?  I have been getting e-mails from there and thought someone here in Qatar Living might have an answer.

Thanks,  PM if you can.

Thanks for all of your posts.  I met the person at an internet site. I did not get a random  e-mail from him first.  Things were going good because he is alledgedly from the USA so I thought he was harmless.  Well after a couple of e-mails back and forth he gave me this cock and bull story about a girlfriend dying.....blah, blah

So I got suspious of him, that is why I wanted to know about scams.

Thanks again.

HI Caryllon, how are you? Don't get lines on your forehead about that, those are just another way of scams.

Please take care as lots of people still falling for them.  If in doubt or the offer is too good to be true........ delete.

Delete all emails that are too good to be true, greedy people don't do that and are scammed.

A previous boss I had, he sent USD 200K to Nigeria a few years back, 

because he was promised to get 10Million back.   After a short while he  realized he was scammed and travelled to get the money back, 

how it ended ??  Guess what- they killed him !!

A lot of email from people asking for help in transferring the money, their dear departed father left them, out of the country. They are scams. Delete them, that is what I do.
