Alex,

Please, please, please tell us you haven't signed up or sent any money for a loan offer from Nigeria! Unless you live there and know what you're doing, you'd be throwing your money away - and that goes for pretty much anyone asking or offering you something that requires money from outside of the US, especially via EMAIL!

Hit the delete button and don't touch anything even closely resembling an email like this with a ten-foot mouse cord!

If you need a loan the best place to start is with your bank and go from there. You can also search the BBB Accredited Business database for reliable lenders:

Alex,

I should revise my statement, before you delete the email, report it to the FBI Internet Fraud Reporting Center at http://www.ic3.gov

Thanks!
