People from across Nigeria have complained that they are receiving scam e-mails from someone claiming to be a prince from Stoke who needs their help to get money out of the city.
In exchange for help, the e-mailer promises cash rewards to the Nigerians. All they have to do is provide their bank details, which Nigerians claim will be used to rob them of money.

"This is clearly a scam," says Nigerian ambassador to Stoke, Tijuana Okocha. "We have warned Nigerians not to give their bank details."
But the prince in question, Prince Steve of Fegg Hayes, is unrepentant. "This is a genuine offer," he says. "I need to get my money out of Stoke before the uprising comes. I can't believe no-one over there will help me."
