Cybercrime
Ever heard of Colonial Debt. That is what you are paying anything to cybercriminals pretending to be businessmen.
If you thing you or your ancestors owe such money, please, send the money your contact is asking for.
However, before you do, read this article from AlJazeera at least first, http://www.aljazeera.com/news/africa/2014/08/cracking-down-cybercrime-ivory-coast-20148279503515697.html
The article relates to Ivory Coast. Trust me Cybercrimes are too common throughout and independent on the country. The story is the same.
