Heard of Willie Obiano/Fidelity Bank Nigeria or Thomas Bentley of Barclay's Bank UK

[judithrose]

Has anyone ever talked with Chief Willie Obiano of Fidelity Bank of Nigeria. Willie is the Director and his face appears on the Fidelity bank website. I mean he appears to be a real person and not a fiction.

My story is that a Barrister Iain Wright contacted me and told me that a Mrs. Susan had left me her inheritance. I briefly emailed the lady when the telephone started to ring and I knew what to expect if I answered it. I decided to answer the telephone anyway to ask what he/she wanted from me? My account number? My routing number? The Barrister said no! That he was going to the court house tomorrow to procure the necessary documents, and did I follow? Barrister Wright emailed my the affidavit and instructed me to email the director Mr. Obiano and demand they transfer the funds.

I was petrified because I don't trust anybody from other countries, I've been burned to badly. But I wanted to prove to myself that I could relate to people from other countries and so I did what the lawyer said. I guess I was nieve almost like buying your kids stuff when all they want is attention.

After paying alot of money in fees..the lawyer mandated the process and transfer of the funds to Barclays Bank in London. Fidelity wanted $160,000.00 in VAT fees before they'd proceed with sending me the documents via courier. They'd loan me the money at 20% interest. Hello!! I don't have that kind of money laying around. And no thank you on the loan.

Well, long story short. Mr. Bentley from Barclays Bank said that his bank was different. Wrong!! After paying me some money they also wanted about the same before they'd wire me the money. Oh! they demanded I take their loan to cover the $200,000.00 or else they were going to come after me for money laundering and other criminal charges, and ruin my career.

I vanish. I changed my telephone number and blocked his emails and told him I left the country. If you want me you come after me. I might be stupid to have beleived I'd see some money come my way but enough is enough. No loans for me.

Last I heard the attorney Iain Wright was raising money to get the mandate pulled back to Fidelity Bank in Nigeria. I told me, I don't care what he does. All I know is I don't have anymore money for any thing.

I'm so very sorry.

You've been taken in by a scam. You've been robbed.

No one requires 180K in fees prior to sending documents... especially in VAT fees...

You got ripped off.

Ignore the calls. Laugh at them while they spend your money.

There never was any money.

I thank you for reminding me that there is no money and for that reason I don't feel guily about giving them any of the Federal Reserve Notes I did have on hand.

I just had trouble with agreeing to their loan either with Barclays Bank in London or Fidelity in Nigeria because I don't have any bills right now to speak of, I'm gainfully employed and know I need to staying working in order to enjoy the fact that I have left Egypt and refuse to ever return to a life of slavery, maybe not slavery to brick and mortor, but slavery to interest.

I have a good friend Ric, who initially told me not to send those swindlers any money that he needed it but his agrument wasn't strong enough for me to get my attention.

I did send them banking information and a copy of my passport. I know that was stupid but who should I report it to? In the event they want to use my identity to commit crimes..
