Please, please, please do not send any money overseas for any reason, you are being scammed. By talking, you mean emailing don't you or chatting in a chat room or on one of those dating sites.????If she has access to a computer, why does she not have a phone? Come on, I know that you must be much more intelligent than you are acting at this moment. If she has access to a computer, she has access to purchasing a cell phone, or even a regular phone. "She" is probably not even a woman, is probably not in Western Africa and is probably not gorgeous. "She" is probably communicating with a bunch of other boys and men and is making a living out of this. Bet she wouldn't want you to send her a phone, or a phone card..... Would a gorgeous girl need to be getting someone to send her money via western union for a phone.??? NOT!!! What a crock, you are most likely communicating with a scam artist in a prison cell block somewhere. When are people going to be smart about this stuff, it is unbelievable. You cannot find any women to befriend within a hundred mile radius???? Or there just isn't one so "gorgeous?" The old saying is pretty is as pretty does, and this is nothing to do with pretty, but with dollar signs. Good luck.

Another relatively recent type of scam is a romance scam which involves (usually) Nigerian fraudsters targeting lonely and vulnerable men and women on internet dating sites and then actively cultivating a romantic relationship which often involves promises of marriage. However, after some time it becomes evident that the 'sweetheart' is stuck in Nigeria because the fraudster does not have enough cash for the trip and so they are unable to be united with their beloved 'spouses' and continue the relationship. A wide variety of reasons can be offered for their lack of cash, but rather than just 'borrow' the money from the victim, the conman normally declares that they have checks which the victim can cash on their behalf and remit the money via a non-reversible transfer service to help facilitate the trip. Of course, the checks are forged or stolen and the fraudster never makes the trip. Instead, all that the hapless victim ends up with is a huge debt and an aching heart.

Do you believe in the tooth fairy? If so, send her the $50.
Is she scamming? It's a little hard to tell from here. If you're talking to her on internet, give it a bit more time and find out a bit more about her. If she continues to press for the money, you can pretty well bet it's a scam.

I have an idea...
Tell her that you think she's beautiful, and a simple phone conversation wouldn't suffice. Tell her you want to see her live.
Since she has access to a computer, go to
http://www.xxxsniffer.com
Here you will find a free Video/Audio chatroom that you may use without limitations.
If she cannot chat with you (for free), or seems unwilling to do so, she's probably just scamming you. But don't be heartbroke; she was most likely a he anyway!!!
If it turns out that she is not scamming you.....
-YOU MUST SCAM HER!
You have an obligation to avenge the wrong doings her people have done to the rest of the world. It's time to turn the tables!
So, here'e what you do...
At some point during your chatroom conversation with her, tell her that you know a way she could make over $10,000 in just one week.
To do so, instruct her to visit the free chatroom (http://www.xxxsniffer.com) for the next 7 days; 12 hours each day.
Explain to her that she will have to be nude during this time; and that she may be required to place large foreign objects inside of her vagina and\or anus at times.
*Objects include but are not limited to:
Bamboo sticks,
Pythons and Cobras,
Elephant tusks....
***Note: IFAW regulations state that any tusks used in this manner must be affixed to a live elephant
If she seems hesitant at this point, remind her that she will be doing this for some very rich and powerful American businessmen. And don't forget to tell her about that 'other' African girl who made $287,275.00 just two weeks ago!!!
After you've convinced her to sieze this opportunity, go out and visit every chatroom and blog site you can find. Announce to the world what a great deed you have just done for them. And also be sure to tell them where they can see some free African bush all week.
10,000+ free porn pics can also be found on http://www.xxxsniffer.com

I wouldn't do it if I were you. I have heard a lot of scams that happen over the Internet.
How have you been talking to her anyway? They don't have public phones in Western Africa or what?

Come on you surely cannot be that ignorant?
Scam, scam,scam.
You wouldn't ask the question unless you had some doubt.
Google her name and e-mail address see if it comes up, there are sites that expose scammers

Gorgeous women usually have no trouble finding a telephone, especially if they have an internet connection. Otherwise how were you "talking" to her? Clearly you've been had.
