I told this Vlad that i didnt have western union in my city and should provide me with banking details so i can transfer the money directly into the bank account. He did and provided me his name also, which was Vladimir.
i guess i found that ironic as well as stupid

money is the root of all evi...,and stupidity

It would be a good idea to PM a Mod with the bank details!

Yes, the irony is there! Laughing

i forwarded it to Alan hopefully i did it all correctly. it was my virgin bank account so i was quite happy.

Does Alan notify us if he successfully closes down a bank account.?

He doesn't usually, no. But rest assured he does magic with the details you give him.

Just to add, you will know if you haven't reported it correctly or if any information is missing as that is usually the only time you will get a reply.

@ Dillon, never ever give your bank details to a bank scammer in Nigeria they will only laundry money into your bank account, I fell for these Nigerian Money Landry Scams I was glad I did use a empty bank account at that time, but advise your bank manager to get your bank account close down, if you don�t the scammer can by pass security an drain out all your money from your bank online, just be careful of these scam stop all communications with all theses criminals, if you did gave your bank details to the bank scammer in Nigeria they can make up forge bank cheques in your name an your account number and send them of to other African conmen in the United Kingdom to with draw that cash an they can also use your identify to open bogus banks account in your name an then you will be in greater debt by these Nigerian 419 Scammers treat them as criminals, if you have any emails open up the email get the header and there IP address and there emails send them off to the banks and to the local police station an they will handled your situation there, never give money to people you don�t know online.

While that is good advice, the OP didn't give his/her info, but reported the scammer's. Wink

thanks. i would never give out my bank details, let alone my location and name either. I've never got into the nigerian thing myself, only the vlad romance scammers. There enough to keep me occupied.

I've realised lately some are so much better than others, and that for the unsuspecting, trusting and lonely souls out there that they could almost be believable and sucked in. I think if i hadn't found the header analysis or this site i might almost have trusted 1 or 2 of them.(but not paid them)

Lol - so much for scan-reading! But yes very good advice. If through any coincidence anyone gets a Halifax account then let me know and I can also get this closed. (Used to work there for years and years and still have lots of contacts there).

@ MrPeterFyle, speaking about the Halifax bank account I was scammed by advantage loan for �50.00GBP in my Halifax Easy Cash account in December, the scammers are still conning people into fake loans, I was promise a �20,000.00GBP loan in sterling, but they con me by �17,000.00GBP so I refuse to accept there request. So I reported them to my local police station an told them I also told Halifax bank of Scotland PLC, they did care about if I was con or not so I told the Office of the fair trading about them an the county courts, if I get some money I am going to take them to court an claim � 20,050.00GBP pounds in sterling an sue the scammer�s company in Southampton. I telephone the loan company in December but they refuse to give me the �20,000.00GBP pounds in sterling after a couple of weeks later the scammers send another form through the post asking me to send them another �50.00GBP pounds in sterling so I reported them to the police as scammers.
