    Was he offering to put £160,000,000 into your account, as he was a high ranking official and needed to do a runner, if you sent him £1000 by return?

    Well there is a Wick in the following Counties in England :-

    West Sussex
    Worcestershire
    South Gloucestershire
    Devon
    Gloucestershire

    So perhaps he thought that is where you lived, in one of them.

    It is not reasonable to expect someone in Ghana to know or care about Scotland.

    Must admit I'm pretty ignorant of African political geography myself.
