text: is there a nigerian bank scam warning going on? i've been contacted by a nigerian bank manager who claims that i have inherited money from a dead relative i haven't heard from in awhile.  they want to put money into my account and are contacting me persistently. they even called me.  they want me to proceed with the arrangement.  i think that this must be some kind of scam.  i can not find out any info from relatives about my nephew dieing a few years back over in nigeria.  i think that if i were stupid enough to follow through they would then ask for personal info.  i know that this would not be the right thing to do.  i could contact my lawyer.  i think something should be done legally about scam artists if this is what they are doing. scam scam scam  this is an old scam, they will then ask you for money to open a bank account or for taxes or for the bank manager to travel to your place to give you the cash...  scam scam scam  if you want to turn the tables on them and scam them back go to  www.thescambaiter.com and learn how.
