tell her “the fear of EFCC is the Beginning of wisdom” that will be the last you’ll hear of the person.
EFCC is Nigerian regulatory body that tackles Fraud within and outside the country.
I think you should go to Google and type in “EFCC Nigeria” its short for Economic and Financial Crimes Commission.
You’ll get to read bout all their reports and advice on e-mails like that.
Good luck.

Cut your losses. I'm sorry but this is most likely going to end badly. In your case if it's a scam she will be up several hundreds of dollars.... In her case if you don't send the money she will stay in Nigeria which is not so bad as that is where she is anyway. I would advise you to not send any more money.

800 is 2 much for bride.. It's almost like that in EVERY gov.
I heard bout this in my country 2.. but NOT 800. You talk to her.. see if she could pay for that.. It's not like she's not working right?? If u have every ppwk done right.. no need for a bride.
I sponsored my husband.. Didn't have to pay any1 a dime.. I went back to his country and did the ppwk.

Remember saying that you can not buy love for the money. What looks like scam, sounds like scam it is SCAM.

Don't be an idiot. This "woman" is probably not who you saw and is in fact probably a guy. This business about a bribe is total nonsense and you are sucker enough to be wanting to fall for it. "She" has NO intention of ever travelling to the US. If you are dumb enough to send more money you deserve to lose it.
