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.

I too have been approached via a dating site by this same 'girl'. She has been using the name Jessica Sindhu with me and sent me many of the same pictures. So far she has not yet asked me for money. But I know it will be coming soon... What my mamma always told me never fails to be bang on. If something seems to be too good to be true.. IT IS!
I was always suspicious but played along to see if I could get the person to slip up and turn the tables, it happened when 'she' sent me her flight info with someone else's name and going to the wrong airport. 'She' then quickly sent another email with the correct name and airport with some wacky story trying to cover the mix up. | ||

His profile is as follows: i need a serious woman for a relationship my name is mark craig,am an aeronautical engineer,am 49 years old,and am half english and half asian,i desire to meet a beautiful,young and intelligent asian woman for a relationship,she should be a working class lady.i love travelling alot,enjot watching movies at my spare time,and also love soccer.i am seperated at the moment,and will desire someone to make me happy again,i have friends both male and female,who are respectable and responsible,i also have two kids both female.i was born ad raised in the united kingdom. And was looking for: i want to meet a Female with age from 35 to 51 and I want to meet for Romance. i want to me a responsible,educated,working class,for a serious relationship He asked me if we could chatt and we exchanged email address something woke me up as the name on the email was lobo.oboma@yahoo.se Asked him why the names were not the same he gave me a lame excuse that a friend from Kenya called him so...alright i thought it can happen.. then he of all the blue within the hour asked me if i can help him with fund and that he was stranded in South Africa which further fraised my suspession, he as a flight engineer did not know where Tibet, Nepal, Punjab were and also that why we did not work on saturday and sunday as he /she was not aware of that...

Well There appears to be a MASSIVE internet fraud/scam going on - for this and they are hitting Mate1.com dating and chat also. Nigeria appears to the destination area for this scam. The lady I was speaking to informed me she was in design and was in the Nigerian area working for the company... and that she was having problems getting her money sooner out of the company. Also wanted 'anything' to help pay the internet bills and food until she could cash her check. Started begging nicely for Western Union money... and was in a terrible spot. Of course I had the same storey of promises and if you notice such as these picture above the pictures appear 'possed' and the lighting is professional - NOT candid shots....
So - I am presuming millions of dollars is heading 'somewhere' to someone.. out there. I will be reporting this one to Mate1 as a scam... Also my 'friend' sent me copy of a bank draft she was having troubles cashing in Nigeria - thus will be sending it to the 'bank' it is drafted on for their Fraud review. | ||

Canada, Millions, yes!
