Recently, an American woman known as Sarah, wired $1.4 million, that is to an online African lover she has not met.

According to DailyMail, the lady, who has since divorced twice and was searching love, sent her lover, Chris Olsen, the money over a period of 18 months.

“An attractive person came on there and said ‘wow you look like you wouldn’t hurt a fly. I said ‘wow this guy’s really handsome, I can’t believe he’s talking to me!,’” the woman was quoted saying.

She said that the man has been requesting her to wire him money as he wants to go to America to marry her.

Chris Olsen also claimed to be originally from Italy, but currently in Africa for business, adding that he has been trying to make his way back to America where he relocated 18 years ago.

“In June last year, she sold an apartment she owned to wire him $550,000 bail,” reported the site.

According to DailyMail, Sarah has paid for this man’s hotel bills as well as his lawyer’s fees as he claims he keeps getting arrested on false charges.

Although anyone looking in would smell a rat, Sarah believes that her Chris is telling the truth and that he intends to marry her.

“I have questioned several times whether or not this is a scam. I am 95 per cent certain that Chris is telling me the truth. That this is legit,” she said.

Someone needy should do something to sort out their issues first rather then ask people for money etc ....

I don't assume they haven't,, people need food and water and shelter, what needs 'sorting' may take longer than they have to be without those basics,,

Things like this make me crazy. Not only how can people try these scams, but why do people fall for it? Don't send anyone money. Don't fall in love with someone you've never met.

The Jerusalem District Court ruled that seven Israelis suspected of scamming tens of millions of dollars from U.S. pensioners in these so-called "Nigerian scams" can be extradited to the United States to face trial.

Men get scammed too. They see a fake picture of a young woman who looks like a model. She tells him she loves him after a couple of messages and needs help, etc.
