Hey all,

Just want you to know that if you get an email from rob_mj this is a Nigerian scam. He/she/it is I know now not what but not what he/she/it says "they" are. He/she/it is a "Dutch man, widow, orphan, with a 6 year old daughter, working right now in Nigeria." It is a total scam. After 2 days, ladies, he will say he is in love with you (a big indication of a scam). I have been playing along for 2 days (day 1 he says he loves me) just to make sure he is not for real, and I am sure. I have tried contacting ConnectingSingles to let them know but it isn't clear that they will or can respond to this. So, if you hear from this guy - delete him completely from everything!!

I didn't fall for it either but so many people might. I hope to help those that are vulnerable keep away from these people. Actually for me it was a bit of a hoot, this guy thinking he was getting away with it.
but not a hoot for people that fall for this abuse.

If I had a cat who said he was from Nigeria, but part of MEND, would you know the difference? On my part, I believed him, said, "No thanks." Then I went on my way.

Why are you so freaked out? I don't understand your problem.

Are you looking for a husband, or what?

Men tell me they want a wife, in the USA. I politely decline. Seems to me they're honest.

I haven't had any scams.

i talked to a girl in nigeria for a month and her dad died there in a car crash and her mother lived near me but she had no way of getting a hold of her and told me to send her money for a ticket back here and when she sees her mom she would pay me back. i told her whats your moms name and i will get in touch with her for you and then i never heard from her again. look at it this way if she get 1 in 12 every week shes doing very well. people make money all different types of ways and yes there is a sucker born every minute.
