Same bunch is on all the dating sites also...Men fall in love with you in one day and then they have to go out of town..ooops   can you send them   875.00  so they can get back to Tyler, Tex..They forgot to get their money changed over and are held up by that..and they just can not wait to met the love of their life...HA HA HA>.I HAVE THE SAME FORM LETTER  sent to me 3 different times by 5 different men who end up in West Africa working for  Chevron, Catapillar, or buying diamonds for their jewelry customers, and they all have a 12 yr old kid, whose mom died in a terrible accident and they need a new woman in their love NET>.........

You can trace them right to the NIGERIAN Cafe in a booth and most are not even women when they contact the man...The men just use a person who can translate English rather fast and it is funny how they know no one in the town and they all own homes somewhere here in USA but are self employed in Ghana working for a company and you get no relatives either...they are all dead...

SO same O  Same O...too bad some men and women get trapped in sending MONEY to these Scammers.......

Can you believe a woman here in Troup, Tex  married a man on the facebook who is in Deboui and he claims to work for Chevron, never met him  , he sends her flowers on net, and he arranged it all there and he is Catholic, tells her he will be home by Dec.  She says she married him on OCT 26 and so far she knows nothing about him.but he loves her......she is 70 yrs old and he is 58yrs old and lives in Kansas...ha ha ha...she will not believe her family that it is fake and a scam..he has no relatives and same story...she fell for it..How can she really think she is married.?
 
She was ask last week by him ...does your son support you totally???  He is about to swoop in for the MONEY hit..  and that will be  " OH Honey, I cannot get home because I need 1000.00 to get here  My money is tied up in AMerica and bank will not release it..>>>>>>"  She will never lay eyes on  him  then..


SCAMS EVERYWHERE  ....

You are  right...Have you seen the TV  episode of the woman who married the man in prison who got out and helped her with her   PIT BULL RESCUES?????

It is a regular episode on one of the TV channels I do not get but watched it at a friends...My son said it is a repeat episode....HE got out and helped her for a while and then  BACK TO PRISON>>>now she is telling the story on tv every  WEEK>>>>and he is still in PRISON>>>>

Pirates Lair,

I have one of those, too.  Wilanson@yahoo.com contacted me about a pet dog I have for sale, and wanted to know the specifics, including price.

Funny thing is, I have no pet, working, dead, or living dogs for sale, and never have.  It goes hand in hand with the check I got in the mail a week ago for $4975 USD.  I only have to deposit said check in my account, immediately withdraw $2800 USD and moneygram it over to some fellow in NY, and then they will release the balance of the $250,000 they say I won in the North American/ European lottery.  Problem is, I never bought a ticket in any lottery, so I know it's a scam.  Plenty of people depositing these checks and sending the money on, like they're told, and getting in heaps of trouble for it.

I am taking the check and letter to the postmaster and reporting it, since this fraud is perpetrated through the US mail.  Likely nothing will come of it, but if it does, maybe someone else won't have to suffer the way some folks have.

I'm not dumb enough to think this check is worth anything, but lots of others have, according to my bank.  Tragic.

Crys
