internet dating scams out of west africa

watch out for [email protected] and [email protected] they are running a nigerian romance scam I dident give them nothing but others probly are hope I can help with this information

You are so right! I knew this already from getting weird emails then a friend of mine told me that she has a boyfriend that she "met" on facebook. She gave me his name and asked me to check-out his FB page. I looked at it and it had a pic of him a white guy..... in military clothing.... with a buzz cut. The first thing I noticed was all of his friends were foreign women. I told my friend that I bet he is a Nigerian with a fake photo. Guess what...after I told her..he asked her for money. She refused and he deleted her!

These guys are on ALL social net places trying to find lonely women to scam!

This might be happening to me too...What name did she give?

I won the Nigerian lotto the other week

Mate its fantastic sport.....get a bogus gmail and correspond...they send pictures but then claim they are not 'that type of girl' so no topless stuff...its great sport
I tell them I'm a detective from the gold coast...love it

oh,could this just appear on fb? last week some "charming" gentleman(not my type at all) appeared on my screen saying he'd found my site,liked to get to know more about me blahblah.i clicked on his limited page he seemed extremely boring to a paranormal,paranoid nutjob.so i ignored him.is this how they work?

Be very careful!

I guess i'm alittle embarrassed to admit this but i did get taken by not one but two of those scams over the past 5 years! This began while i was an OTR truck driver and feeling kinda lonely.
The first one claimed to be a nurse who left the US to claim a property she supposedly inherited but was unable to and so got stranded.
The second one was supposedly a Brit counselor for an orphange who wanted to move to the USA.
I lost thousands believing i was helping a couple girls who claimed to be starving and in dire straits before (and after) it became news that they were scams coming from Nigeria. They still stick to their stories and occasionally try to talk to me by e-mail although now i mostly ignore them. (bummed)
Advice to all: Don't send any money. I ignored that advice and got burned. (live and learn).
