Definitely a scam, ignore any further contact with them, notify the federal police on their scam site, they need to know how mush of this is happening.



Definetly do not pursue any further communication with the other party.

She wants you to send her money after chatting a few days.... Isn't that the first sign...

Don't send anything...

here is some of the things she has said to me.

if only I could have come up with the right words to describe the depth of this beautiful feeling that I have for you, I would have whispered them to you the first time we would meet. The best thing that I can do is to show you now.

I like you so much, Sweetie. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You are like the best poetry ever composed, the best song ever played, the best picture ever painted. I never thought that someone like me could get so lucky!

I do not know how to express the conflicting emotions that have surged like a storm through my heart all night long. I only know that first and foremost in all my thoughts has been the glorious confirmation you gave me last night - without effort, unconsciously, of course - of all I have ever thought of your mind and heart.

this is after 2 nights talking to her.

She would have got that from someone else they have scammed, they are creative enough to write that themselves. Can you see an illiterate from west africa writing such prose ???

See this a stock letter from love me .com most of the text came from it,



"Aren’t We Lucky?
To: My Dear ~ From: Jerry

My Dear,

If only I could have come up with the right words to describe the depth of this beautiful feeling that I have for you, I would have whispered them to you the first time we met. The best thing that I can do is to show you now.

I love you so much, Sweetie. You are the best thing that ever happened to me. You are like the best poetry ever composed, the best song ever played, the best picture ever painted. I never thought that someone like me could get so lucky!

I love you more than my life, more than my world. I love you more and more each day and that is the most wonderful feeling any man can ever hope to experience.

Forever Yours,

Jerry"

I had a look at your profile and notice that you make decent money. Do you have your income posted on the other site like you do on this one ? If so then that looks quite tempting for scammers.
Block her and if she or her "uncle" call again - tell them they should have got travel insurance.rolling on the floor laughing
