Thank you for your question. Be sure to go ahead and bookmark www.nateanswers.com for future questions.

Do not send the money. This is almost certainly a scam. First, there are no Taliban in Nigeria, so that doesn't make sense. Second, this is a common scheme, asking for money for plane tickets for some emergency reason. The reason they are wanting to use Western Union is because it is virtually untraceable, and once you send the money, it's gone for good. This is most certainly not legitimate and you should not send the money.

That information is not public and those names are XXXXX XXXXX there would be no way to know, anyway. Plus, even if there were, anyone can assume another's identity over email. The names are XXXXX XXXXX you look at.

This is a scam. There are no Taliban in Nigeria. There is also no United States military command in Nigeria. This is not real.

I'll be here if you need more help.

Please rate my service. Remember, anything less than 3 stars will result in me not being compensated today for my time, knowledge and advice. We can still continue afterwards.
