100% scam.



There is no sexy, young, cute orphaned 20 year old trapped in a refugee camp with constant internet access who desperately needs a foreign partner to help her access the millions her father left in the bank just before he died.



There is NO one named Victoria Zakin, no refugee, no one in Dakar Senega, no inheritance, no one named Dr. Benjamin Dakinber, no 7.5 million dollars, no real documents, no one named Mr. David F. Lawrence, no transfer officer and absolutely nothing legit in those emails from a scammer.



There is only a MALE scammer trying to steal your hard-earned money by using a fake story, stolen pictures and pretending to be several characters.



The next email was from one of the scammer's fake names and free email addresses pretending to be the "minister/banker/barrister" and has demanded you pay for made-up money transfer, document, certificate, stamp and bank fees, in cash, and only by Western Union or moneygram.



Western Union and moneygram do not verify anything on the form the sender fills out, not the name, not the street address, not the country, not even the gender of the receiver, it all means absolutely nothing. The clerk will not bother to check ID and will simply hand off your cash to whomever walks in the door with the MTCN# and question/answer. Neither company will tell the sender who picked up the cash, at what store location or even in what country your money walked out the door. Neither company has any kind of refund policy, money sent is money gone forever.



Now that you have responded to a scammer, you are on his 'potential sucker' list, he will try again to separate you from your cash. He will send you more emails from his other free email addresses using another of his fake names with all kinds of stories of great jobs, lottery winnings, millions in the bank and desperate, lonely, sexy singles. He will sell your email address to all his scamming buddies who will also send you dozens of fake emails all with the exact same goal, you sending them your cash via Western Union or moneygram.



You could post up the email address and the emails themselves that the scammer is using, it will help make your post more googlable for other suspicious potential victims to find when looking for information.



Do you know how to check the header of a received email? If not, you could google for information. Being able to read the header to determine the geographic location an email originated from will help you weed out the most obvious scams and scammers. Then delete and block that scammer. Don't bother to tell him that you know he is a scammer, it isn't worth your effort. He has one job in life, convincing victims to send him their hard-earned cash.



Whenever suspicious or just plain curious, google everything, website addresses, names used, companies mentioned, phone numbers given, all email addresses, even sentences from the emails as you might be unpleasantly surprised at what you find already posted online. You can also post/ask here and every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find before taking a chance and losing money to a scammer.



If you google "fake next-of-kin scam", "fraud inheritance Western Union scam", "fake Dakar refugee scam", "fraud romance scammer" or something similar you will find hundreds of posts from victims and near-victims of this type of scam.

Any emails from any bank you don't have an account with OR any email from any bank asking you for your bank details needs to be deleted!!!! Furthermore, if you don't have an account with a bank and you receive an email from them DELETE it without opening it. And yes... it is a scam. You never give or update your bank details in an email. If you do anything like that online you have to have an account with them to start with and you should be doing it on a secure site (i.e. with a padlock at the very bottom of the screen) NEVER in an email.

Of course it is not real. That scam has been going around for decades .... The idea is that you send them money, and they promise to send you a lot of money. The latter never happens of course ....
