I'm new here, so what do I make of this. This girl told me she just moved from the US to Nigeria in the last several weeks.

Have you gone to her page and checked her out? She is from Hudson New York and is as white as I am. Ask her to put her passport photo up or send you proof. Does sound like a scam.

be careful. I'm originally from Africa, any one that is on this website telling you they just move is not a good sign. You can move from one state to another not outside the United States. Don't give someone the opportunity to scam you. People get scam because of been greedy.

Hi Brown, i'm not sure, but i do know, that it's inappropriate to call other members out in public forums. This is a concern better left to the JSH administrators. I would contact them and ask they delete this thread, and then tell them about your concerns. I do not work for JSH, but i do know about forums, and what is and isn't allowed. and this is not allowed. just a heads up, and welcome to JSH,
Mark

Brown1972:

I had a girl do that on another site. She was "originally" from Arizona.

Did she say she was in Nigeria to train for a job for the World Health Organization?

If so, did she ask you if it would be all right if reps from WHO sent you info about donations?

If you said yes, and "the WHO" sent you a letter, were half the words in it misspelled?

They tried that same trick on me.

Be careful, some of the scammers have caught onto the fact that Nigeria is now a red flag, and have moved their operations to the Ivory Coast.
