Is it true that credit cards cannot be used in all Nigerian hospitals?

Question

I am in the process of trying to help a friend come home from Nigeria. Unfortunately, he has to settle a bill with a hospital first. Can't I just contact someone at the hospital and pay the bill for him?

Answer 1

I agree with Lavit.. up there... There are so many nigerian internet scams lately...

If he has a credit card, all he has to do is go to a bank and have them withdraw against the card, then go to the hospital... There are ways..

Sounds awfully fishy to me.. someone is setting you up for a scam...

Answer 2

Dear,

that's a scam! Please do not loose your money. Use your brain (no offense) In case the hospital would not accept a credit card, he always could have been wired them the money.

But - feel free to do what ever yu want to and make a Nigerian scammer happy.

Take care.
