I was given this number to call. Apparently, my friend who was selling a property, got somebody who's interested. That "somebody" turns out to be part of a 411-type fraud.

The way it works is that the buyer would say, I have wired the funds to my attorney or somebody distinguished (say, a diplomat). But then, when my friend goes to claim $, a lot of issues "transpire"...all sorts of excuses, with the net result being that my friend was silly enough to send in repeated sums of $. All under $5000. To solve "a variety of problems".

Anyway, I got wind of it and called this person. I have business contacts in Nigeria and in 30 seconds, yup...Nigerian scammer....anyway, posting this number here so nobody else gets hurt.
