I have been writing to a scammer (knew he was) for maybe 5-6 weeks now. He was schmooozing me with a bunch of crap, calling me "honey," etc. I was just going along to see what his game was. Supposedly he lives in Wisconsin, then he said he was going to Nigeria for a "job." Yeah, right. Kept talking to him. Then 3 weeks after writing him he tells me he bought me a diamond ring, Say What?? We were only talking generic, so made no sense, oh well, really wanted to see how this game ended. Well Friday got a note that his hotel was robbed by armed bandits, took his visa, passport, all his cash, ID, and gold wristwatch, but the ring is okay as it was locked in his suitcase and he told them he didn't know the password (okay), but he was beat up and going to the hospital, no money for food, etc., so here it comes, right?

Then no word until this a.m. when he rights that he needs $120 for a new passport, can't leave the country without it, is staying at the embassy, no money for food, etc. Guess I wasn't too helpful, told him I was trying to pay for my dad's funeral (the truth) and told him he could take the ring back, that would help him out, why didn't his company give him a draw on his pay, etc. Also his bank should be able transfer money from his savings into his checking (he said he couldn't get money out of his savings for some reason). Suspect I won't be hearing from my "honey" any more. Also suspect he (or they) are writing 20 or 30 women at the same time and wonder how many will send him money??? Pretty sad, he is probably on a beach in Cabo sipping Corona's and living the good life on the money he keeps scamming from women.

Oh well, another one bites the dust.

Every time I hear the word 'Nigeria' I black out and wake up in the dumpster outside Western Union.

U mean that Russian lady doesnt really love me and doesnt worship the ground I walk on?

Well, Mikey, she just might, but get a pre-nup and make her pay her own way over here. Then you will know for sure.

I think I will stick with my doll, she dont eat much and never has a headache!!!!

Sure about that? How can she tell you she has a headache...when her mouth is full all the time?

Seriously, it's not the Russian, Nigerian, Whatever'ian women that worry me. It's the good ole' AMERICAN women that scare the crap outta me.

Got scammed by one of them on the internet awhile ago. Not for money, but for attention, time, interest and possible affection. Her lies were good...very good. Safe to say, more of what she told me was untruths vs. truths.

She never asked for money...but, I sure felt robbed when I found out the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.

Now, that's scary to me!
