  • This is a variation of the Prince Mantubu scam - Where a prince is supposedly trying to get his money out of the country but will give you 10000$ if you let him transfer money to your account. The catch is ALWAYS that you pay fees either through Western Union or some similar method that won't refund your money. You pay the fees and you never see the money. Any time they want your bank info, credit card info or you to pay a fee -ITS A SCAM!
