The writer has spun a story about my prize money which he has put into
his personal account in Nigeria. He even tells me not to pay more than
320 USD he has quoted. I wonder how he gets around that?

With this story, they start off by saying you get the cash card if you pay a “reactivation” fee of 135 US Dollars. Now I’ve seen that somewhere before.

Oh yes, it was the 135 US Dollar shipment fee for FEDEX.
