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.

Was schattin with a woman supposedly from Lansing Mi. Said she needed to travel to Nigeria on business. When she arrived {don't think she ever left} right away she needed money for internet use so we could stay in contact. The first thing that got my attention was how bad her english was at times. At other times she sounded like she was reading from a romance novel. One time her name was Julia, another Julie, and once she slipped up and referred to herself as Paris. Her adress to send money through WU was Hotel Road 12 Logos Nigeria. When i put all of this together I played with her and finally she must have realized i was on to her. Good lookin blond, 30 yrs old, parents both dead and sold gold, beads and sculpture online from Lansing Mi

I met this guy on yahoo personals. He told me that he lived in the Georgia (US) and that he was working with his company in Nigeria. We spoke & emailed several times. He eventually asked me to western union money to him so that he could come home and unfreeze his bank accounts. At first I was very reluctant however after much begging and pleading on his part I eventually wired the money via western union. He said that would pay me back as soon as he got back in town, however, he never showed up. I found out that same day after doing much resarch about the guy's name, that he in fact had stolen the identity of someone that does live in Georgia (US), to whom had been scammed by a female from Nigeria previously.

So i got this from 'Erika Hayden' after indulging in a little email frenzy (got me in Tagged) Is this another scam? There are other pics of her. This is one of them. her English seems to deteriorate as the emails continued which got me suspicious.
I'm In Pains ... Wed, October 28, 2009 6:36:08 AM From: erika hayden <lovingerika009@gmail.com> ... Add to Contacts To: CM Quake <cmquake@yahoo.com> Hello Hon. Thanks so much for the mail and hon I'm really sorry i did not email earlier but hon i wish u knew what i passed through... Something really terrible happened to me and it was nothing like i could imagine becos i have never been in a situation like this before... To be specific like u already know I'm in my period and you know i loose so much blood. I was too weak and the pain i felt inside of me was so terrible and could not go to the hospital, I managed to call one of the Neighbors around who managed to take me to the hospital but the doctors only stopped the blood lost becos here in Nigeria they go by the Popular saying ( Pay before Service ). The doctor told me how serious my situation is and how dangerous its might be if i don't act fast on getting some blood before its too late...Hon I'm totally confused and worried be cos right now i don't think i can even afford to get the blood and pay for the treatment be cos i spent almost all i had paying for moms hospital bills..I wasn't expecting something like this to happen to me and i don't even know who to call for help. I have spent some money on drugs just to get over it but no luck so I visited the clinic and i was put through some Thyroid hormone testings and discovered that its too stress that caused it..I was prescribed some medications and its expensive they are Monophasic pill, Zoloft - Generic tablet, diuretics and Antifibrinolytic which they'll cost me $.Hon right now as I'm writing to you i hope u find my situation serious and i hope u will do something to help me get some funds so i can get blood inside of me..Hon plz i really need ur help and i hope u find a place in ur heart to help me becos this is an emergency and i really need ur help.... Love Always Erika  Keywords: | ||

WELL PEOPLE, PERHAPS THIS GUYS' COMMENTS ARE A BIT STRONG BUT IF YOU HAVE EVER BEEN SCAMMED LIKE MANY HAVE SO REPEATEDLY WITHOUT ANY RETROBUTION OR GOVERNING LAWS THEN ONE COULD UNDERSTAND THE CORRUPTION AND WHAT LITLE ETHICS THIS COUNTRY HAS.
OF COURSE IS NOT TO SAY ALL NIGERIANS ARE THIEVES AND SCAMMERS BUT MOST LIKE IN MOST OTHER THRID WORLD COUNTRIES PREY ON THOSE WITH MORE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE AND SO IN THEIR SICK MINDS ITS OK TO LIE, CHEAT AND STEAL WITHOUT ANY REMORSE OR CONCERN FOR SCREWING SOMEONES HEAD-UP EMTOIONALLY MUCH LESS ROBBING HTEM OF THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY. | ||
