Hi: Thank you for the many responses received. There is much information that suggests that Nigeria is a clearing house for laundered money. In fact, one study ranked Nigeria 5th in the world for most laundered money. In addition, the information more than suggests that many "money scheme" type emails emanate from Nigeria. Yes, there are many people in Nigeria that are in need and many of their pleases for support are valid. We must thoroughly investigate each plea for help, as PropheZine has done, to ensure we are not sending our dollars to an unworthy cause (getting ripped off...) As a side note: A close friend of mine, who will remain anonymous, is experiencing a financial situation with their ex-wife. This person is a solid Christian and has served God faithfully for years and years. Please pray for vindication in this manner. Thank you and be careful.
