FBI FINAL NOTICE!.

A reader forwarded me this scam.  Why on earth would the FBI be interested in your inheritance (if it was real)? If the CBN knew “fully well that they do not have enough facilities to effect this payment” then how did they manage to send it by “wire transfer” – last time I looked you had to actually”have enough facilities” in order to send a wire transfer.

This is just the usual load of made up rubbish by a scammer who wants to get his/her hands on your money by charging you fees.

Actually, the person who sent me this asked if it was real.  I a) directed them to the paragraph at the top of every page of this site and b) asked them if they actually had a very rich African relative.
