Basically a Nigerian scam/catfishing hybrid.

Big difference between reading a thoughtful answer online and mailing money to a Nigerian prince.

No, not that stranded British solider or that Nigerian prince that have been wanting to deposit $10MM in your bank account for years now, but you did come into some money. $80,000 to be exact.In this market you could buy entry-level rental homes that rent for $875 per month, or your lend this money out to other investors. 

I get the feeling a Nigerian prince needs my help.  

At least the Nigerian dude selling me ownership in his diamond mine takes the time to personally call me. 

I know a couple Nigerian princes who have some very exciting investment opportunities.

Nope Nigerian prince scam of the private money lending world these days..

Posing as a lender is often part of Advance Fee Scams promising a large loan, in return for an up-front fee (a well-known non-lending version of the Advance-Fee Scam is the “Nigerian Prince” scam).These thieves can pose as anyone or any company.

I don't want to be tricked into giving a house to a "Nigerian prince".Thank you

I have received a letter from a Nigerian Prince which would like to deposit his family fortune I to my account to get it out of the country.
