The following reports are genuine, but due to legal reasons, names and cases cannot be stated and as such, any coincidence in this report will be only coincidence as every effort has been taken to protect privacy of all involved… 

They are out to steal not only your heart!

There are many internet dating sites out there and within the realms of "honest" profiles, are deluged scams and false profiles that have only limited purpose, and that is to relieve you of money or just create pranks, while there may be many success stories and ample amount of genuine people out there, that work hard and have little social life because of that, and can only see dating sites as a window to a brighter loving future. Over the last few months has experienced the very bad of what is out there and while there is still hope there is good out there one day, The following is so you can be aware and be extra cautious to any encounter you consider to follow up. Registration was made on many sites, so this is a fair assumption of the quality of bogus people out there that seem to target all sites encountered so far.

I have now decided to bring a close to adding any more stories here and have de-registered any profiles and unless you have any you can share, this page will be something as an eye-opener at least... The intentions for registrations were most genuine, but it seems that sometimes Dating Sites are not for everyone.

Claire De Lune ... Conclusions below: 1, 2, 3, Postscript

Marrying Mariam: This was the first encounter that was dedicated to marrying someone and very quick, she wrote intense and graphic content that I was the one for her. She was based in South Africa and although ready to jump on the next plane to see me, it was within a week that she pleaded and pleaded with me to send money to her for Nursing examination book costs and I was her last resort... It seemed no matter how I explained I had no funds, the content then turned to how almost life threatening the  situation seemed and that I should now feel guilty for not being able to help her... I did not even know her!

A Texan Rose: Delighted to see that my profile had been checked by a beautiful woman about 10years my junior, I followed the contact and started messenger conversations quite quickly. This rose was showing great interest in me and I could not believe my luck in finding out that she wanted to come and see me as soon as possible even though she was so far away. She said she was in central America and was looking to move to UK to start own business and her parents originally came from UK so she had dual passport. We exchanged email addresses and continued a few days privately exchanging more intense and excited and very intimate letters.

After a few days silence out of ordinary, I sent a few emails hoping all was ok and it was not until I received an email from her, I was alarmed that she was actually in Nigeria on an engineering project and was having some difficult times. She said she had plenty of money, but $10,000 was tied up in travellers cheques that she could not cash in safety there but would do so once entering UK airport at bureau de change. Many hours were spent, hundreds of hours in fact, writing back and forth on messenger text chats and emails, and she was really striking up so much interest in me and had decided that I was her future. I know what you are going to say - "get away now, ignore her", but a lot of what she had been saying made sense with the exception that she had no phone I could ring her on (although could connect her laptop computer to internet! and was not in a cafe but paying for subscription in her hotel room). Anyway, pushing all that to one side, I just wanted to see if she was for real as she was so intense with keeping me interested in her, so many big long poems of love and devotion and so much in common, I felt it had to be worth seeing where it would go.

After a few weeks, she said that she was definately to come over and was looking to book tickets, but then came the first wave of money requests. Although she had most of the money, she asked if I could help her by sending some cash via Western Union and she would repay me at the airport once the travellers cheques cashed. She was not talking of a great deal of more, not much more than you would pay for a good night out and a meal, so while I was having some doubts about small things that she mentioned to me, I thought, well ok, send it to her, I had enjoyed our online time very well, so worth it maybe just to see next step. I did say that I had very little money so not to expect a rich man and just wait a day or so for me to confirm I could deposit the money and give her reference numbers before booking. Before that day was out, she emailed me to say she had used all her spare money to put a deposit on the ticket and was waiting me to send what I agreed. I was a little cross as I said wait until I sent before booking ticket in case anything went wrong, but now I felt compelled that I must send money regardless!

All getting excited and looking forward to the arrival of this wonderment, but for some reason still expecting that it could never be real for me, she emailed the details of the flights and there was then no further contact as she was on way.

On the late evening of her departing for first plane at Lagos, Nigeria, I received an email from her Project Manager to say that she had been in an accident on the way to the airport and was critical in hospital and the taxi driver had died. He would send more information to me later once he got full report. I was naturally concerned and stayed up all night to see what was to happen. After about 3 hours, I received another email from him along with some photos of the scene of incident from the police. I thought this very strange to receive police photos in such a short time, but very concerned why they were made available to him and even got them on an email to send to me - very strange! On the report with the photos, her manager wrote that she had one leg in plaster and the other leg was waiting for surgery and all she was doing was calling my name. As I heard nothing for a couple of days, I started to send chase emails to her manager to get updates, but was getting nowhere very fast. I thought the next step I should try was to find the number for the Police in Nigeria so they could confirm the accident and tell me where my rose was taken, and I took time to examine the photos sent me as there was something bugging me; they seemed almost as if from different incidents, but, again what do I know of the place? I have never been there. Eventually and after great time in run-around, I was informed that she had gone to Lagos General Hospital and I obtained the number for that. When I called the hospital, again I was given the run-around and felt almost laughed at because I asked them to find her there - they seemed not to have patient records, very strange! I was then left to just wait until I received more information from her manager.

Two days later, I received an email from her manager to say that he was trying to get her laptop to the hospital if they would allow her to have it, so she could communicate with me. This rang more alarm bells to me; how on earth would a hospital allow a patient computer link-up to the internet just like that?! But, guess what? Within 24 hours, I started to receive messages from her via instant messenger and was striking up a text conversation, this is getting ridiculous, but I thought, why not just follow it along and see what happens. She complained that she had one leg in plaster and waiting surgery to other leg but she might lose it! She said that all the money she and her manager had was given to the hospital to pay for surgery so far but still needed another $2,500 to save her. This being Wednesday, she said over and again, that if she would not get money by Friday, she was going to die. She explained that the leg would come off, but kept insisting that she was going to die on Friday! This continued for many hours, and I explained that she had all the money I had to send and there was no more, even if I had money, this was definately smelling of scam.

Friday came, and she was still alive and did not have surgery as there was no money to pay for it and on strong medication, but again, still well enough to have her laptop plugged into internet to text. Many days went by and she went on about needing money, but there was nothing I could do. I suggested that the taxi company was liable for claims as she was a passenger in the car, also her company that had her working in the country were responsible for her wellbeing, so she should take it up with them as they are there where she was, but she repeated that nothing could be done and how much pain she was suffering. She even turned to inflict guilt on me because I did not have the money and thus I did not want to help her - how ridiculous! Anyway this went on for many days and I added that her Embassy should be able to help her and again, why was it such an issue that it was not safe to cash her travellers cheques, it seemed such an odd thing.

Next, while waiting for news to follow, I thought, why not look online out of interest to see what life is actually like in Nigeria, I had done so for her homeland, so made sense to see what sort of conditions exist out there. The very first website that came up on search for the village she was staying, was a radio website and on their front page in bold print was a link to romance-scams. Well, I just could not help but have a look to see what it was all about and everything was confirmed to me before my eyes: They report of scams derived from Nigeria and spreading across the globe, that organisations were contacting dating profiles to wean money. It said that 99% of these scammers were actually men pretending to be women and just posted up stolen pictures from models and agencies. Also added that it was quite common that the girl would ask for money via western union and have a horrific accident on the way to the airport. On top of that, there was no problem in cashing travellers cheques in Nigeria. I was quick to make sure that this was known to her, but she kept pleading that it was not as her case and that she was for real. Well, ok, we will find out one way or an other soon, I thought. She then sent me an email with a photo of a leg in plaster, yes, a leg, could be anyone's but a leg all the same.

Weeks went by and she still had no surgery and was very much alive and writing well, she even managed to strike up friends with nurses she said, well that was her answer to me noticing that her messenger software appeared to be different versions from time to time; she said that a nurse let her borrow a laptop so she could communicate with me. No come on, this is getting so daft, where do they get their ideas? Something else had to happen soon, surely? I was certainly getting entertainment for the few pounds I sent her, she must be on very small rate! Then it happened, a new idea...

She updated to say that she managed to find just enough money to pay for the operation and her other leg was in a cast. This was only 5 weeks after the incident, but she said that she had the other cast removed and was planning to escape from hospital and get on next available flight to come to me. WOW! miracle treatment or what? - one crunched leg out of plaster and weight bearing in 5 weeks and the other leg in cast that she was going to die from, but she was to be ok to fly over from Africa? Amazing! But, hang on a minute, didn't she say something about no money? I'll take a deep breath, wait for it, yes, here it comes, she wants more money to help to pay for travel although her flight ticket is still valid, so won't be much, but if I can send $1,000 to her manager to pay him back for helping her surgery, then we can be together - what? I don't have that sort of money, who is she kidding, maybe she should ask the miracle doctor that cured her so quick and must be so rich from doing so, and help her! But, what was this escape thing all about? here we go again...

She said that she owed the hospital over $2,000 and her manager would help her escape from hospital on next flight to come to me. Well that is powerful stuff! I asked her how she expected to fly, the airlines would not allow her on board without a hospital release. She replied that it would all be sorted and would be fine. I then asked about how she would move herself as she was on crutches and in great pain, and she said that it was not a problem as her manager would sneak her out and to the airport. But again I added, what about Amsterdam, there is a flight change there, what about her moving there? She added that again all would be fine, all she needed was a few dollars to see her hand money. Well, this is really good stuff that movies can be made of, here goes, let's see what happens!

Having sent her the price of another date meal, she confirmed the flights quickly and would be with me in two days. I was having none of that just that easy. I went onto the airline schedules and neither connection on her details existed, naturally, so I emailed back to tell her she had a big mistake and would get nowhere, of course she was not going to anyway, but I was just following the plot. I hope you have not lost the plot yet, as there is much more to come! Alas she did not get my email in time, but then again she did not make it to the non-flights either. It was the following day that I got email from her to say that the escape had failed and her manager was in prison because of trying to get her out and she was facing charges. I thought to myself, just wait for the charges you will get once I get you exposed! This was just so laughable, you know, I was told when I searched about Nigeria and found romance scams, it was made most clear that Nigeria live on a cash basis only, so there was no way there was a hospital bill as all bills have to be paid up front or no medicine or surgery is given, so I knew that she could not owe the hospital and need to escape. In Nigeria you have to pay for everything up front, no credit, no cash, no good! I let her know I knew this, but she was not going to let that stop her mission. I then decided to give it silence for a while and wait to see when she would begin a new chapter. Yes, a month went by and a new idea popped into her head.

Now was the time I could trap her for real as she needed more personal information. She said that in conjunction with her sister in the U.S. she might be able to arrange to get the travellers cheques released, but maybe better still if she just sent them to me. I said what use that would be as in her name and it just did not seem right. She added that if I could send her $150 to cover the cost of secure courier, she would send them to me. Again I added that there was nothing I could do with them as was in her name. Hey, nothing about criminal charges yet! Such a crime supposed to be committed but only said that her manager was released and they were to appear in court soon, but nothing of that topic again, she must have forgotten to read that page of the script! No, I had no money to send, so forget the idea of sending me anything. She then added of an extended idea, that if I had a credit card account, she could arrange for the travellers cheques to be deposited onto my account and I could cash as much as I like this end. Well, I knew that was never going to happen, but if I was going to expose her for real, I needed to follow with something. I told her that my card was maxed out all but about £40 and that was there to cover monthly charges etc, nothing could be drawn from it, so just maybe if she could deposit this money, then would prove she is for real... NOT! ... Now was the absurd requests, and I am sure even the simplest of person will understand that if you want to pay something into an account, all you need are the card company pay in details and your card number, but no she insisted that she should have so much more, or did I not want her to come to me? Hey, I think African Elephants can fly, I saw the movie when I was a child! Ok, so let's get to this story because it is towards the closing, at last you say! I surrendered the details and all of what she asked, but woops! I made a mistake!! Oh dear!!! There was no way that she was going to use the card and as she insisted on all the information on it including dates and rear codes, she was up to fraud attempts. She said that as she needed to email her sister before doing anything and the time differences, it was best to wait to see results the following morning and what a result!

The following morning I emailed her to see how thing went on and she said, as I expected, that all had gone wrong and it would not work, her sister said that the cheques could not be paid into my account, surprised? I wasn't. I did make sure that I gave my account details correct so I was able to trace if was used, but there was that mistake oops! I told her I had to go out and would be back online in about an hour and we could discuss it further then. I used that time to contact my card company to find if she had tried to use the card, I told them that I had been online previous day and thought that some online sales transactions did not seem safe, so if they could confirm latest transactions, and well, here goes: Just after the information forwarded her, there were three attempts to use the card for £39.99 and later another one for £69.99 (exchanged currency rates), and all had failed because of one error, yes the exact error I informed her to the button! I explained to the card company that I was not happy with those attempts and informed them to take steps as the card had been compromised so the card was closed immediately. I had no problem with that as I had no credit available on it anyway and it was only a test to see if she would try and rob me of something I have not got in the first place and I just wanted to see her reactions to my findings.

Time to find out... messenger time again... She was still online waiting for me and so I started off, just to be sure that only she had my information and it was not passed on, I asked had she sent my information to her sister, and that the details were safe and in total trust to her, she confirmed that she had let no one see the details on her computer and she had not forwarded it on to anyone. (By the way, she was back at hotel room now and with her laptop) So I then followed to ask her to explain why my card had been attempted use four times and the exact mistake only given her was tried. She naturally went on the defensive and said I was jumping to conclusions and not trusting her, well she was right there, and I said that she had confirmed just then that absolutely no one but her had my information, and added that she was exposed as a fraud and there is now an investigation heading her way.

Since then, she continued to plead innocence and even though she is due to try to come over in about 10 days, she has been silent for the last 3 weeks and I very much doubt if she will arrive. The idea was to collect me and us to go to U.S. to live with her hidden fortune! That will be the end of this story unless I hear from her again and of course I will update this page if she does. END OF NOVEL!

Alice in Wonderland with adult tendencies: Could I believe while trying to deal with the American Rose; a heavenly tongued lady from London UK said hello and wanted to be the best thing in my life and to never stop having sex. However holy all her religious her prayers and intentions were, the devil was certainly in her body, well, too good to be true? YES! Quite naturally she wanted to come and see me straight away, but hey, what was missing? yes, you've guessed it... MONEY! It was only a matter of days for her to repeatedly push to get money from me so to pay for her flight, she was in West Africa and too had a dual UK citizenship like the last. Hey, who's she kidding? I know that there will be one or two genuine ladies out there that might be in that predicament and be honestly trying to find a partner for life, but when her profile photo appeared on a completely different profile and completely different attributes, I forwarded it to her and although she denied it all, she went silent and not heard of since.

Sandy Shores wash the tide over me: This is going to be a little longer than the last one, so get yourself a cup of tea, if you have read this far, you deserve it, so sit down and take a deep breath. I think I will have to regenerate my fingers to start typing again, here goes...

Thinking surely I had my share of strange introductions, another came along and again was supposed to reside in London UK, but it was very quick that I found out that she was actually in Dubai dealing with some inheritance she was due from her long late father. Did I smell a rat? Yes, of course I did. So, what was the story here? She was looking to clear up business there then return to UK and get married and have a family. She was dual French-British nationality and there was no question of marrying for status.

She firstly wanted me to join her in Dubai to help her with some paperwork. Like all before, I have no money, but the fact that I said that I could look at flight prices, kept her interested. I then replied to her to say that flights would cost around £450 and MAYBE something could be done and I would confirm as soon as possible. It was not within a breath before that dreaded message of plight came through coincidently saying she was sick and needed medicine at the cost of £450... Very funny! Anchoring on that figure as I believe as it is what she knew what I could spare, she insisted that I not go to see her as not needed now, but send the medicine money please. (Not likely!) Another twist to all this was that she said she had a French Uncle gone to Greece to sort out more property inheritance for her and she was worried for his health. Ok, so now the story is getting serious. I was being offered all the money and loving I could handle once all sorted, but just needed to get these matters completed, wow, what a dream, not!

Much time going by and heaps of loving poems and emails and everything, she next told me that her Uncle had forwarded her the money for the medicine so she would be ok now, but her Uncle needed paying back as he now had none. She wanted me to send money to Greece for him, but again, how ridiculous! This is such a hard hitting story but I can see right through it. She did supply a mobile numbers but I was not permitted to use them and funnily enough, they were Nigerian origin and she would not explain that.

After many weeks of begging me to send money, she then told me that a friend from the UK had sent her the money to pay her Uncle and some cash in hand for her, so all would be ok now and she would fly over to me in a few days. Her profile shortly came to me as a priority as she had renewed her membership, but the most ridiculous thing was I recognised it as she had put her photo up as the one of her as 10yrs old! I asked her what was happening and then she went silent for about 10 days. When I eventually got an email from her, she said that she was now in Germany and to be married the following month!

I really don't know if she was just a prank or genuinely writing to people for money, but certainly she had no intention, if it was a she, to come forward. I would imagine that she got money from susceptible others to fund her living and moves around the world to do it... What a life!

Sister Sarah nurses Dutch courage and faith: This brings another dimension to this topic. Practically every message included a long prayer poem and devoted promises that she would be the one to show me what a woman can do to a man, and she was most graphic while at the same time being highly religiously dedicated.

It all started that she was living near London UK as a Nurse within a team of response medical missions and had been qualifying in A & E in Holland. She was due to leave for Africa in a couple of weeks so was interested to find a relationship to return to once the newer mission was complete. She originated from Holland where her father a very religious man and her mother was from South Africa). She was most enthusiastic that I was the man for her, even though she was the closest to me from London, she did not want us to meet up before she went on the new mission, and I quickly realised why, when she slipped up on something she said... I asked what she had been doing that day and she told me she was handing out medicines to children in the streets! ... Not in this country I think!! Anyway, I thought I would just see how this one levels out and how long I am going to be asked for money!!!

This was the first one to happily give me her contact number and I was delighted to have some real conversations with her, quite sweet, but very expensive calls, so did not entertain that much at all, especially as this seemed to be another prank. I was just so intrigued how intense she was, bearing in mind of the way she also portrayed herself as devout Christian!

It took a month, but it had to come, when she said that she was not well and had no money for menstrual medication, so was relying on me only to be that support for her and to get money to her within 48 hrs. It seemed a shame that she could not talk to a team member that she was in the mission with. Once again, it was time to remind her that I do not have money to send and she was naturally agitated and disgusted and apart from one last mega prayer poem, I heard no more from her.

Claire De Lune, or is it LOON: This time although again in the UK, this is the most bitter one as she was the one I really would have liked to be real and was so gentle on her approach to me. I cannot put my finger on it, but maybe that is why she made such a difference to the way I felt. She soon gave me her number and we had some very pleasant words. She was not declaring instant passion, just that she was very interested that we might be able to be the match that we had both been looking for. She said that she had suffered battering in the past and was just looking for a nice man to be happy. We just seemed to click and for once, I thought this was the genuine one out of all past.

After part way through a messenger conversation before she gave me her number, she said she had to go and feed her animals and would be back to me to continue and give some details, she did not appear for a few days and then told me that she had an asthma attack bad enough to be taken to hospital but was getting better now. She agreed that we could catch up on things in couple of days and gave me her number and we had that lovely first real chat, and yes she sounded so different of all the others, I really wanted to get to know this person. It was soon agreed that as we were both on free time, we could meet up in a few days, well I could muster to that and was most happy. I made arrangements to go to her in Peterborough and was happily stuck in the M25 car park motorway when I got phone text... Her sister was using her phone to stop me going up as it was not worth it. There had been another collapse and returned to hospital and having tests.

As I was well on my way up in the 25 jam, and I had booked hotel so I could stay in the area for a few days, I was still going to make the journey even if I could not see her, at least I would be close if she wanted me. After another message to tell me I was wasting my time, I was still making it to the hotel at least.

Once I arrived at the hotel, I started sending text messages to the phone just to say I had arrived and that was close by, just please tell me what has happened. I did get a reply of thanks and appreciation that I cared enough, but it was family only at the hospital. Ok, I respect that, and this is not the right time for me to see her, but if all genuine, then she would know I cared enough to make the effort and that was important. As it was clear I was not going to see her and I had a call for a meeting for the following day, I needed to return home the  after one night stay and dropped a message to say so.

I heard nothing for a few days until her messenger profile appeared live online and I knocked to ask what was happening. It was answered that it was her sister using her computer and was online mailing to all to update. I was told that there was another collapse and an epileptic attack and the hospital were concerned to scan her brain and it was a most critical status. Naturally shocked, I assured her sister that I would be on standby to come back up as soon and if I was called for.

A few days went by and no replies to chases, so I decided to see if I could get a message through via the hospital, just so she could know that I was in mind of her and to know that she was safe, but, guess what? She was not known as an inpatient in any of the county or border county hospitals at all, just known as registered as an outpatient in one but not been for many years... Ok, so let's think on this, maybe she is somewhere other than I was told, who knows, it looked like another wait and see, so just made sure I sent regular daily texts so if she was ever able to pick up then she'd know that I was genuine. About a week later I saw the messenger live again and was told it was her sister again, so I let her know that I had looked into hospitals without success, and that went down with an explosion... I was not checking up on her, just trying to find out that she was going to be ok as no one would respond to me... Anyway after cooling down her sister informed me that the scan was not good and likely to be in hospital for 6 weeks... I kept asking where so I could go and see her but then she disappeared offline.

Out of the blue, about a week later, I started receiving text messages back from the Claire and said that she had a small clot on the brain and was to get some treatment. After a few days more, another text to say that she was sending texts from under duvet in hospital (duvet in hospital, half past midnight!!!). I received quite a few texts after this, all keeping me sweet but never telling me where she was! Another week went by and I was text to say that it would be another 6 - 8 weeks and her phone was running out of credit so I sent her credit text to allow her to keep in touch.

The following week on Friday, I received a text to say that she had not had very good few days and would be having surgery the following morning. She had given her phone to brother so please promise not to try and message until after operation and she promised to call back that day after recovery. Days went by with keeping quiet until Wednesday when it was enough, the operation may have been bad or long recovery, so I sent messages to chase, but nothing until Friday night at about 2.30 in the morning to say hey! and thanks! messages from her... I replied thanks for what? and she then replied in a frenzy of that I did not care about her at all ... why was I being like that with her? ... and promised not to bother me again EVER! ... Totally gob-smacked by the comments, I tried to find out what on earth she was talking about, but she told me to forget about it and nice for knowing me... Well that was the most absurd dumping to date and for no explanatory reason. Well that was until I looked deeper into matters that I really already knew...

• The messages on email. messenger and texts were one in the same person, her sister did not exist in this case... The texts written in all phones and messenger were exactly the same typographical hand.

• She was not in hospital at all and was indeed the person still surfing and replying to dating winks as was found when she replied to a friend of mine.

• She still did not exist in any hospital anywhere, as after this ending episode, she was checked again.

What I did not understand was...

• Why to be so cruel and elaborate with brain surgery issues?

• Why keep extending the weeks for recoveries if not in hospital?

• Why dump me in just that time?

Conclusion 1 ...

She may be just as pathetic as her final text message she said about my friend and just so damn cruel as in the final reply I gave that if she was not having brain surgery, then she needs it and while having surgery, they should look around to see if she had a heart!

Conclusion 2 ...

She was not in hospital but in a bad relationship and was trying to get out of it, and the "brother" may have been her partner that still had the phone when I sent that chase mid-week and she had been exposed.

Conclusion 3 ...

She is ill in some hospital so obscure and protected that not even the hospital knows she is there!

Well, there you have that one, long and involved, but I truly wanted that one to be real for me, so made sure that I was always available to all messages for instant response. I left many long voicemails of my genuine intentions of which she delighted. I even sent her phone credit so she could keep contact. On top of that, I was prepared to drop everything as soon as I got her call and she was so responsive to it, but, then early in one morning I get those ludicrous texts! So, now I move on and just accept that, but at the same time wouldn't we all like to know what the real story is and I would just like to say that if only she could have been honest with me all along then it could all have been so different.

Examining The Funds of a Dizzy Digger: Time now for another Nurse from Ghana with dizzy dosh digging traits... This one though was not switched on at all... So anxious that I was the one for her and so confused with herself that contradiction was the only thing her brain could cope with... This, supposedly another Nurse (I am not targeting Nurses, it just seems that the he-she seems to choose that as their vocation and pick on me!)... Well this digger was tripping up in almost each paragraph of writing and it was only a few days before I got the pleading for me to send money as needed for examination books... Seem familiar? ... Yes, Identical to the South African at the top of this page! ... I was most clear that there were no funds and for her to read these pages... and she quickly disappeared.

Hotel Hostage: The slightly new curve... Although yet supposedly another Nurse, it showed on her profile that she was in North Carolina U.S. but her introduction email said she was in Kensington U.K. ... BUT... When I pressed her to find out which was actually accurate, neither was... She was actually in Nigeria... DING DONG DING DONG... Bells a ringing again! She said that she was so taken by me that I would be that special person for her, but I was reading through the inconsistencies of her information and I was just waiting for the dreaded plea. This one had the extra miss-guided mind by making a letter entry to this site forum instead of emailing me, so at the time of writing this report, it is still there for all to see and I have yet to decide if to remove it or not, I may just leave it there as an example, but I may just delete it. Anyway, this one only took 3 days before the plea came... She-he said that there was great trouble where she was and I was the only one that could help her as she was in a Hotel and they had taken her passport and flight tickets and would not release them until she paid the hotel bill. Well... bearing in mind as stated in my earlier report that Nigeria do not give credit as all must be paid upfront, it was madness for her to think that I would understand that her $2,500 hotel bill of which still needed $800 to pay off, that I would believe that she was for real. Of course I do not have the money and would also not believe the promise that the ticket would be changed to come to UK, even though she continually contradicted herself in tears?!?! as she also said she was not interested in anyone outside the "State" (Which Country... Africa or U.S.? I am in the U.K.) so I directed her to visit this page and have heard no more!

POSTSCRIPT: It would seem standard practice for the questionable profiles, that if they can get you to commit to having a certain value ready to use i.e. to go and see them or anything similar, be careful, be warned, be just patient... The story will soon reveal itself, because they will ask you to cancel all plans and send them the equivalent value in cash to them via WU as that really is all they are after and you will not see that money or that person... ever! They will just test you to see what sort of funds you have and how quick you are ready to respond. WU (Western Union) is a very useful service and I found it to be most reliable and safe, but only if the recipient is genuine to you, otherwise it is a very cruel assistance to down-right fraudsters.
