Another dating / chat scam - USA/ Nigeria connection

Last week I got contacted via my profile on a dating web site. The person had a temporary profile only with no picture posted and sent me a one-liner including her yahoo address and she asked me to add her on the yahoo messenger.

I was bored so I fulfilled her request.

Her profile had said she was from Illinois, USA. I live in California. Once we chat on Y! messenger, she says she just left Madrid/ Spain and is in West Africa now.

Supposedly she works for a diamond company which is owned by her step dad. She lives with her daughter since her husband (or kids father, I do not recall) left her after the kid was born. Here are her photos - I am not quite sure that they are really HER photos:


She also tells me that she is on bad terms with her step dad since he asked her for sex. (If that's her real photos, I might ask her for sex also.)
During the chat she was kind of evasive, did not answer my questions but instead asked me questions herself. After about 30 minutes she said she'd have to leave West Africa soon and wants to come to the Bay Area (which is why she had written me) and whether she could stay at my place for a week or two until she had gotten herself a place.

She wanted to see photos of my house (I mailed her two).

During the following week we briefly chatted maybe 3 times. No deep conversation, this woman does not spell well, and obviously does half a dozen chats parallel.

I asked her to visit a web site that I host so that I could trap her IP number. It was 196.3.62.4

I used two different tools (web sites) to identify the location she was coming from. Most web sites reported this IP as in London, UK. One web site located it as CAPE GIRARDEAU, MISSOURI.

Note:
If you ever want to do this kind of check, grab the IP number from email headers and use a web site like www.ip2location.com on it. You need to make your email program or web client display all headers, to see the 'Originating IP'. Yahoo's email client offers this. I do not know about AOL or hotmail.


She claims to be on AOL (which I found strange, does AOL offer service in West Africa?)

Yesterday she started talking how her step-dad does not send the money he is supposed to send. A kind of allowance instead of a paycheck. Don't ask me for an explanation of this concept.

I did not like to hear her talk about bills that she cannot pay. I'm kind of allergic to this talk when I know a person from 60 minutes of chatting only :-)

Anyway, today she asked me directly to Western Union her the money, $750. As I am posting this, I am still chatting with her. A copy of today's chat is below.

Here is the letter I got from a girl off of myspace.com named Maria.
Hello Jake! I am very glad, that you have become interested in me.
And I shall try, that you were not disappointed with me and have
learned as much as possible about me. But I as would like to learn you
better. I ask you write about myself more in detail. In fact ' the
First Sight ' allows to see only that is obvious. And when you learn
people better estimations of character traits, outlooks can vary, and
it is cardinal. You to me seem very beautiful person, I hope, that you
also very good person and to us will be possible to learn soon each
other better. Well I shall inform in brief about myself directly. I
the usual Russian girl, actually am not distinguished by anything from
others. It is probable to describe itself, it would be easier for me,
if I did not do it for the first time. At me words and ideas because I
worry a little are confused. I did not expect, that all of you-òàêè
will answer me, and when I have seen your letter of me as if a current
have struck in heart and now I sit behind a computer and I do not know
that to you to write. Excuse me if I shall do many mistakes in the
letter, I not absolutely well know English so if to you something will
be not clear you ask me again. Well all right there has come time to
continue a history about itself. As I already spoke, that my age 25
years and all these years I lived in the city of Kazan. There I also
was born. It is very old and beautiful city which is in 700 kilometers
to a southeast from city of Moscow. I was never married and
consequently, unfortunately, and I have what children. I would like to
have the child. I would like to bring up it and to transfer all
experience of a life to it. I yet do not know, how many I would like
to have children, for the present in it was not defined. I do not have
harmful habits, I do not smoke and I do not use alcohol, unless only
in small quantity on holidays. Most of all from alcoholic drinks I
like red wine. From meal I prefer Russian kitchen. I have ended the
Kazan State University on a speciality the economist. But I have not
found myself in this speciality and now I work as the Insurance Agent.
On character I the cheerful person, try to enjoy each moment of my
life and to overcome with a smile all difficulties of my lonely life.
I want, that you have somewhat quicker answered me. Write to me about
itself, than you are engaged and that like, I all to want to know
about you. With impatience I shall wait from you the letter.

Sincerely your girlfriend from Russia MARIA

Man, this is crazy stuff. I should have checked out this site earlier however. I have been chatting and sending money to a girl in Lagos supposedly and she said that my money was used for food and her mums hospital bill ( whata story ). The wier thing is when II PAID for her visa and passport supposedly , her supposed uncle offered to pay for the ticket and insisted on sending me the airfare. When I got the package and discovered they were travlers cheques, I called the issuing bank who said they were fake. The uncle said they were fine and to cash them but I am not that stupid or desperate any longer. So I was saved from harms way, just barley.
Now the uncle said he had no idea which I DISBELIEVE. The girl claims she had no idea either.
I have chatted with a couple of girls from there and they all asked for money...that place is a skam artist paradise...BEWARE.
I know they were in Nigeria because they gave me their phn. number which I have called and have sent money via western union to Lagos.
What a hoax and almost a jail sentence.

Update:
'Joy' sent me 2 gift packages with FTD.com (one with flowers, candy, teddy bear, more chocolate and the other one a 'gourmet food gift basket').

Probably paid for with a stolen credit card ;-)

This night she called me (around 4am :-( ) announcing that she was going to mail me money. I suspect it will be fake cashier's checks. When I spoke to her this night, I found that she had a very British accent.

I have had a similar conversation only with a guy claiming he was robbed and needs to get home to Huntsville, Alabama, and if I would send him 1500.00 he could pay for the rest of his airline ticket and pay off his hotel bill. Where he went wrong is he keeps telling me how much he loves me and will be with me always, until death do us part. When I write back and tell him it's impossible to love someone you've only chatted with a couple times, he writes back more words of undying love and devotion. You can tell he's not from America though, because his writing is so much like Joys. I have even wondered if it's not even a man that I've been talking to, and that maybe they post pictures of good looking men to atttract wealthy women, and then just say what they think the woman would want to hear. He has not been too evasive though, which surprises me. He gave me an email address of his KLM Airline agent, but after I thought about it, it could be anyone's email address and they somehow post the KLM logo on the site. I mean, anything's possible nowadays. This guy was from Lagos as well, and he also said to send the money via Western Union, and gave me a security code. And always: You trust me my love. I never let you down.

Yeah, just had a great hour's entertainment with a Nigerian chick, claiming to be an Australian stranded in a hotel in Italy. She was an Art dealer apparently and lost her purse at the station.

Fairly poor story, but some cute photos that she send.

I reported her email address she/he used the name Olajide Oladipupo Akinola on the western transfer which googled as a Nigerian lawyer's name which kinda gave the game away too!

Her email address is angeldammie2005@yahoo.com in case anyone else gets IMs from he/she - she probably got my name from Yahoo personals.

OMG!!!LOL...This is so funny... I thought I would google it to find out if anyone else was being scammed...Mine was a gorgeous hunk(according to his pic) which of course was not his picture. He said he was Henry from Flint MI, he was an artist going to london then Africa to pick up materials for a 'project' Oh the words of lov that flowed from his lips, although I would always tell him u cannot love someone u do not know...His story was so lame, for starters I called him in Nigeria..probably the same number that is above..i will have to check that...HIs English was so broken I could not understand him. Anway he IMd me that he was going to get a phone card, took a taxi, left his wallet in the taxi and it was stolen and passport stolen....($10,200)lol I knew it was a scam at that moment of course...He couldn't even tell a believeable lie. I told him to give me his name so I could get passport straightened out for him, so he decided he had fixed the passport prob on his own:) then he decided he needed $4000.00 to pay for hotel, so I offered credit card payment if he would give me name of hotel, that wasnt necessary he said he needed cash. I said OK give me your full name...His first name was supposed to be Henry..I kid u not the guy couldn't even be original, said his last name was SMITH!!!! but that i needed to put money in hotel managers name not his... We went on and on cause I wanted to see just how far he would take it...I even told him I had decided the only way to prove who he was was that I was flying to Nigeria, would he meet me at the airport............lolrof...I finally got him to admit he was from NIgerianot Flint MI..The email addy he was using was pricelesslove83@yahoo.com... If I knew how to post the pic here I would but believe me the pic is of a GORGEOUS man..lol
Anyway, I now think he is Iming me as a different prson who admits he is from Nigeria, showed me web cam, in the cafe..I think the cafes are actually scam businesses,sort of like our telemarketers...but instead of the phone they use the internet.........As always, if it is too good to be true than it most definitly is..........
