| Topic: Do I Worry Or not? | |

I recently started emailing a guy who says he lives in Atlanta Georgia. He says he is on business in Nigeria and that it is taking him longer to get paid than he expected. he also says he is not interested in my physical size, the attraction is tehre for him. I am trying to be careful and I did a name check on him through the national white pages (online through MSN). No name match could be found no matter what I typed in, anywhere. Plus, I did a google search and someone with his exact last name (which is spelled different than most with a similar name) popped up on a different site, and the guy was from Nigeria. He keeps pushing for pictures of me even though I posted already and he seems to be beating around the bush about the money issue. He is beginning to worry me, yet I do not want to jump to conclusions. Should I go to the other site and try to feel the guy out to see if it is the same one?

only a matter of time until he tells you he is stuck there and cant get back would you send him money or cash a check for him or some crap...classic scam. lots of other signs....if he gives you a cell# call the operator have her run it...it will be some company overseas...let me guess, he is in textiles, fabrics of somesort, etc....he immediately wants something longterm and loves you ... blah blah when you turn him down on his requests watch how nasty he gets lmao....have had many friends fall for this crap!

Sweetie you need to run and run fast..normally when they say they in Nigeria on BUSINESS..in reality..they live there and looking for YOU to foot the bill so they can get out..RUN!..I've gotten so much mail from people "working" in Nigeria it's ridiculous..I'm pretty sure if he was really from the states he wouldn't have to go ALL the way there to find work..I mean theres a huge unemployment rate here..theres a job here somewhere for him.

Anything that comes out of Nigeria and the UK is a scam...Oh my gosh I can't believe that people still do not know this. You never send money. |

Thanks for the replies, and no, he will not ever get money from me. I guess I am seen as a softie or desperate. He's wrong on both, which is why I run checks alot! I can and will wait for the right one to come along.

I can and will wait for the right one to come along.  Unfortunatly it's very good and nice people of the world that get preyed on by scammers. Don't let yourself be a victim.
And the right one will come... lol there's lots of us still waiting. |

This scam has been going on for years; they even did a special on MS-NBC about these Nigerian scammers.
I've noticed that a few of these scammers seem to have realized that Nigeria itself has become a red flag, and have shifted their operations to the Ivory Coast. |
