New scam running around

He wasn’t being racist. The Nigerian prince scam is an iconic old scam dating back for over 10 years.
yes but the prince scam is not what was mentioned please,this is more advanced probably from an expert in that field
 
I don't think this particular case is the usual Nigerian princes scam, do people still do that anyway?

This approach is what virtually all fraudsters all over the world use in laundering and/or washing stolen money.
Oh so basically they are ready to give money for you to clean it for them?
 
Unfortunately there are people who fall for these scams.
 
Not really new scam it seem. those scammers been active for years in internet..
 
Why must you mention of Nigeria?
Advance-fee scams are usually referred to as Nigerian prince email scams, because that's how this type of scam got "famous" some 25 years ago. Here's an example:

BnJm7S5

It's also known as the 419 scam. The number "419" refers to the section of the Nigerian Criminal Code dealing with fraud, the charges and penalties for offenders.
It exists in many versions these days and still costs a lot to victims, the common thing is that the sender asks for money upfront, just like in OP's case. The basic idea is dating back centuries, it was used with fax and traditional mail too well before the internet existed.
 
Stay smart. Simple as that.
True but I've never ran into this type of scam before sniffed it out quite fast nonetheless decided to post about it maybe help someone else never know
