Legal Question in International Law in California
Possible Scam?
Wife received fax from a man in South Africa requesting assistance in obtaining funds. Claims to be the son of the former President of Tanzania. I believe this is a scam. My wife believes it is also but she wants to make sure. Thomas Nyerere is his name. He has provided various documents including the name of an attorney in S. Africa. I have checked Various web sites that focus on scams and no one has heard of this as being a scam. She wishes to pursue this by checking the creditentials. Is someone willing to view the forms provided and do a little checking? Thank you

It seems to be a scam. Just run the names of the principals on some search engine (i.e. www.google.com)and check it yourself!
