Hey all, I just got my first online response, I'm so happy:)

So what do you think, should I help this poor girl out or what? rolling on the floor laughing frustrated


i really don't have anyone to open up to,you'r the
first person am telling about me and maybe it's just
becuase you'r soft spoken and all,but i did like to
tell you what happened and where i'm here.I am in a
country they call nigeria in africa due to something
tragic incident that happened to me there's this guy i
used to go out with and i met him over the internet,We
got really close and he asked me to come over here for
a visit so i could meet him personally and we could get
to know ourselves much more,I promised him that i
would,which i eventually did some weeks ago,the day
that I arrived,we went to his house and i was there
till noon after which i went over to lodge in an hotel
rather than stay in his house,i was in my hotel room
till the end of the day after which he arrived and
informed me that he was going to get dinner and i told
him i was tired after a long trip and said i preffered
to stay at the hotel room,a few hrs later i got a call
from the hotel customer sevice that he had been
involved in a terrible car accidentand he was in coma
in the hospital,so i went there to meet him and all i
knew after then was that i spent all the funds i had on
me to save his life,but there was nothing i could do,he
died the next day and i just broke down and cried,I
cried back the hotel and stayed there,i was mourning
and there was no one to console me or do anything about
me,i was all alone and lonely,there was no one it could
reach out to talk to and no one to help me out,I just
kept asking God why,i've been in the hotel ever since
and i can't seem to find a way to leave here,bout some
weeks after the incident the hotel management asked me
to pay my bills which i was owing for staying there and
i could not afford the bills,{there's no one i can
contact at home,cos there's no one for me,mom and dad
died when i was still 5 and i grew up with mygrand
parents whom i lost in the hurricane katrina,i never
got to know my family members,now am all alone and i
need help,where would i get it from ?Would u be able to
heal he wound on my heart,and save me from this
predicament}.My ticket has been seized by the hotel
manager and if i don't pay my bills there's no way i
can leave here or yet meet you to fulfill a long time
dream of meeting someone who would put away all this
pains and agony that i'm going through and mend my
broken heart,there's no shoulder that i can lean,no one
to cuddle me and make me happy. I did like you to know
that i'm not putting a burden on you but i know that
you have a heart that's caring and loving and really
want us to be together,i pray that u would not hesitate
in getting me away from this place.I would like to be
with you,i'm humble,meek and kind and i'm a down earth
person,i'm willing to humble myself before you,I hope
that with all you know now,you would decide on either
leaving me in my pains or taking me away from this
place to you.

Hey , why no play their game? somewhere on the web there's a site dedicated to scamming the scammers, one guy sent fake photo's, dodgy bank account transfers etc. and eventually arranged to meet in front of an internet cafe in Holland.

The scammer turned up 3 days in a row outside this cafe waiting and waiting for hours being fed BS.... all the while being filmed and watched on a live webcamcheering cheering cheering

The other one is getting them to pay a few hundred $ in customs duty for the "please donate a laptop for my poor son".

they open the package and much to their delight the Laptop is made from cardboard with paper cutout keyboard letters laugh laugh cheering

Please be careful, this is a scam. Most emails that come with sob stories like this where the person claims to be in africa or nigeria are scams.
