Legal Question in Banking Law in Nigeria

Internet banking scam

I have been been a victim of identity theft (trhough the internet) of an account at global bank in nigeria to obtain monies. An account manager (at global bank nigeria) falsely sent my name to banking officials to get me to try and withdraw funds, i declined and he turned the information over to them anyway, and now is trying to extort $8470.00 legal fees. The bank has sent notice they intend to prosecute under their banking laws.

I need assistance, but do not know of an international banking lawyer to assist in trying to clear my name with this bank.

I can be reached at 469-766-3419. Time is of the essence. I didn't know who to turn this into.

Re: Internet banking scam

I have carefully reviewed your letter on the above subject. For us to really act on it, we need to know more facts on the case and review all the correspondence between the Accounts Manager, the bank and yourself. Also if any documents were exchanged in any form we need to review that too.

Our Senior Partner called your phone but was only able to drop a message with your answering machine.

We can only be able to give you adequate assistance when we hear from you.

Best Regards
