Candid advice: RUN FOR YOUR LIFE.

I am surprised someone could be asking this question in today's Nigeria. I guess you started getting online this year or at most last year. Or else, you would have been familiar with such scenario of 419 fraud. I am sure if we ask you about your friend you mentioned that sent you money from the UK, you will have no credible answer to give about him and you are not sure he is the one sending you the money. Do you have his personal number in the UK and has he spoken to you on phone to confirm that or you are depending on the number the fraudster called you from? Can you confirm his number from his/her relative in Nigeria that he has even sent his family money not to talk of you friend? Have you heard of any money transfer service that requires you to pay your own money upfront before you are remitted your fund not even talking of deducting the receiving charge from the sent amount? What business dealing(s) do you have with your so called friend that makes him to send you money? I ask that just in case the guy (your confirmed friend) is the real sender but has joined yahoo-yahoo over there? Be careful and do not fall because of greed. You should by now have heard several of such stories.

Man! That's scam. Sender of money pay any charges not the rechiever, i will be good for you to openup the express money agent identity coz it's a scammer.

Even if receiver will pay charge, it will be deducted from the sent money and not another upfront payment by receiver like 419 case.

Ask him or her to deduct the 2% and send you the remaining one. Period.
