Mr. Uzo e-mailed stating that he had deceased client who had left a large amount of money in a bank account in Nigeria with no inheritors. According to Mr. Uzo these monies if not claimed within a certain amount of time were to be confiscated by the Nigerian government.
The plan he submitted to me was, since the deceased and I shared the same last name and were nationals of the same country, that I should acked as next of kin so I could claim the money and he and I would split it.
Agreeing upon this initially, I later received an e-mail from a representitive of the Union Bank of Nigeria PLC asking me to send them $1000.00. This money was suposedly for the procurement of some documents and release forms being sent to me by special courier. They also wanted my banking information so they could transfer the funds.
