    It’s not true. It’s a scam.

    In a few extreme cases, I have read that people were actually kidnapped and/or killed when they have traveled to other countries to make financial arrangements. It’s been a while since I’ve read that, so not sure where I saw it.

    You can search the internet for info on Nigerian 419 scams.
