    Looks legit to me. Wow. You're truly blessed to have a manager from the BOA contact you about a money transfer. If you got for it, don't forget to spread the wealth around with your TF2 peeps here.

    You know that they actually DO transfer the money to your account. If you had a good enough banker you COULD transfer the money out to an unlinked account and close both of them as soon as you received the transfer.

    You would spend the rest of your life waiting to be machete'd in your sleep by the Nigerian underworld, but you would have a million dollars.

    The real reason they do this isn't JUST to rip people off, it is to get money into the united states.

    nah, you have to buy in for that, a deposit on their bank account etc. They never will put that money on your account.

    The filled in personal details they use to get something on your name... whatever that might be (bank account, papers, etc).

    There is a site to get them to do stuff etc. But I'm lacking the will to spend time on such losers.
