I am new here so I don't know how common this situation is but I am working on an Iraq diplomatic scammer who gave me 1 bank account, which I sent to Alan. Then after a week or so, I claimed to him that the account was closed down so he sent me a second account. After another week or so, I then told him that account was bad. The mugu denied that it was bad and suggested that I go to a second bank of mine to make the transfer. What a good idea - except that my second bank was allegedly bankrupt, purchased by another bank which caused another 10 days of delay. Eventually I told him that his account information sent to me was still bad. He then wanted a Western Union transfer which I didn't like. Now he has sent me 3 new bank accounts, 2 in the U.K., and one in Hong Kong - all again sent to Alan.

So where is this guy getting all of these bank accounts? His misplaced faith in me ever paying him is amazing.

Are the names different on each account? I would imagine they are.

They could be victims accounts. One's who are mules, maybe even ones that have been phished, but that seems unlikely. The lad could also be "renting" the use of them from other lads. I'm not sure how these lads get them, fake id or something I guess.

Some more successful lads have access to a good number of banks. Others pay an "offshore" lad to use a bank in another country such as China, India, Malaysia, UK, or the US. Those are the most common places I see offshore accounts coming from and yes, there are Nigerians in those countries running operations out of the reach of the EFCC.
