The real deal? Nope.

Well well. We have a real bank that is supposedly holding money for me from Nigeria. The link was real and the contact email was close to real. Unfortunately the from email was att.com. I am not sure who they expected me to contact. I looked up Barclays bank and it is a real business in the UK. I have no account with them. They are getting smarter in their attempts to get my money. Unfortunately for them, I am a bit smarter.

This is the second time we are notifying you about the status of your fund right now on my desk. After due vetting and evaluation of your Inheritance file which The Ministry of Finance of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Forwarded and contacted us to see to the immediate release of your fund in this first quarter of the year 2010

Thanks for your co-operation.

From our findings you have been going through hard ways by paying a lot of charges to see to the release of your fund ($15, 000, 000, 00) which has been delayed. We advice that you stop further communication with any correspondence from Nigeria or any part of the world. You don't have to pay any charges to receive your Inheritance fund anymore as you have met up with the whole requirements, your representatives in Nigeria or any where else will tell you to still go ahead with them but on your own risk.

The only requirement from you is to obtain your Non-Resident Clearance Form/Receipt which we are not asking you to pay the fee to us here in United Kingdom as the Government of Nigeria have paid us for handling/processing of your payment with other customers.
