He cannot claim the entire sum himself because of his noble status in a foreign country, and the government will take the fortune for itself soon. Thus, he asked for my help in transferring the money due to my excellent credit. In return, he will let me keep almost half of the sum ($75 million USD) which will really help me finance my new Honda and townhouse and allow for a really fun trip to Las Vegas.

I replied and he told me that I only need to wire $5,000 USD via Western Union to his escrow, Jarvis Smith, as proof that my intentions are good. He'll then have the government send me the entire fortune and I'll send him his share ($88.63 million USD) after keeping my own.

I'm about to send Mr. Smith the money tomorrow and was thinking, maybe I can keep the whole fortune for myself once I get it? Over $160 million is a lot better than just $75 million, and he won't be able to do a thing if I don't send him the money. I'm just worried that he might have connections with the mafia here and might come after me, so I was wondering, should I take the risk? Thanks.
