Diamond Bank of Cotonou Benin scam

This seems to be a standard "give us your identity info so we can send you money" scam. However, this one asks for your next of kin info. That disturbs me. Maybe they just want it because it will help them steel your identity, or maybe they are trying to collect your life insurance while you are still alive. either way, it is very suspicious.
