I was Invited to the UK by a Mr. Fred Othman who claims to work for the First National Bank PLC College Road, Harrow, HA1 1FB. I sign an receive the first payment of my inheritance that has been there since late March. I was told to bring $38,650 usd and that we would br take to the Director of the vault to pick the first 4 Million Dollars Cash an take to the First National bank for deposit an transfer.instead when we got there were asked to give the funds to Mr. Othman and that he would pickup the funds an pay the tax and we would proceed form there the next days an deposit the money for transfer to our account in the states. But instead we were take to a hotel room where I was given a phone with the information to open a brief case which contained the funds. Once the briefcase was open we saw that bundles of money were marked FGB and was told that the money was coded for protection from theft. From there we were taken back to our hotel where as Mr. Othman took the funds back to the vault in which he claimed it came from and to be decoded upon his going to the vault he called us and told us we need to pay another fee for register for decoding. We pay $9688.00 usd for the register.By the time this was done we had to leave. We were told that we would receive a wire transfer with in the next few days to our Account in the states.instead I received a call 2 days later to check my email and the email from this Mr. Othman told I need to pay another 22500 more pounds for the decoding to proceed. I told them we could not do this with proof of receiving the funds an all he said was I needed to come back to the UK with the funds an go with him to the vault. An from there it has gone from one stroy to another but still demanding we pay the fee for the decoding. I can not find any information on this FGB or the Apex bank Vault/Security Storage Office to verify any of this So we feel that this was another scam for us to pay more money and get nothing
