kezza007: that shows ya....

just ignore and block


thumbs up wow

So much easier to see a scame from an objective viewpoint - this is classic scamming - BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK - don't be foolish and fall for all this crap, even though she is saying such lovely things - that is just to draw you in.

Hope it works out better for you next time.

Sometimes people make typographical errors... when we are typing quickly and at times emotionally.

Its often difficult to proof read what one has written and pick up the typo ... a little bit of tolerance and good humour can go along way

Of course its a bloody scam. Are people honestly so gullible??

For goodness sake, does this woman live in a vacumme, where the only people in the world that she can call on for help, is the OP and her uncle??

What ?? she has NO parents?? she has no employer?? she has no other family ?? codswallop.. if this story were true, a woman in a foreign country getting caught up in riots and loosing belongings... she would go to her countries consulate and they will look after her...



DOH DOH DOH DOH DOH doh

loyallover2: 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.


Mate - you are how old??? sorry but i can smell the gum leaaves. We country boys do tend to trrust too easily, but this one is a RUN FOR YOUR LIFE one.

I dont mean to be rude, but did you ever truely consider sending this person money? after a few days of chatting online?
hmm i dont even think it has much to do with trust either, WHY would you even contemplate it... crazy

It just doesn't sit right that someone would ask you for money in the first place, letalone $3,750us and especially after such a short communication with them AND that you would need to ask if you should send it mumbling

sorry Just my 2cents worth !
have a good day wave

As soon as you see anything to do with Africa and Western Union, hit the delete key. Also watch out for those Russian "beauties" that pop-up in your email and tell you that they found you on a website 'you have never heard of'? Type in "nigerian scams" in your search engine; some are absolutely hilarious. Cheers.
