Answer 1

dont send anything its a scam

Answer 2

honey - youve been ripped off by someone in a 3rd world country - please dont send antymore money - shes proabbly talking to 6 or 7 eight other men at the same time with the same story. As for malaria - malaria drugs are available at their local chemist/hospital - quite cheaply, probably a couple of quid, and even if the child stayed in hospital for a couple of weeks that wouldnt cost more than what £40? unless shes had to get a flight - you've been well ripped off - she may even have a husband!

Answer 3

She wants your money to be sent to her, her kids to be sent to you. Sounds like an easy life for her. You never know but this girl you are talking to may not even be a girl lol. It just sounds like a scam. A way to rig money out of good people's pockets. Use your head. Cut all ties and find someone else (preferably not on the internet) as there are a lot of dodgy people on it. Find a girl local to you, I mean how can you love somebody if you have not seen... plus a few weeks she's playing you like a game of golf. Get rid. Good Luck anyhow...

Answer 4

I'm sorry to say you've been SCAMMED. You should never send money to Nigeria unless you know someone personally, ie met in person, close friend or family.
Forget her shes a scammer. Something similar nearly happened to me a few months back.

Answer 5

The short answer is - DONT DO ANYTHING.

You have been scammed and it will continue if you let it.

Don't send any more money I would even go as far to say close the account or credit card you used to make the first payment.

Don't think it is safe to have any contact with internet dating etc.

It definitely would not be safe for you to continue contact with this family.

Why do you think you have to fight for her kids? You do not have to nor do you have to be guardian to them. Chances are the whole storey you have been lead to believe is false.

BRIEFLY - DONT DO ANYTHING - CLOSE EXISTING ACCOUNT USED TO PAY THEM MONEY. DONT BE FOOLED AGAIN.

Take Care - Good Wishes

Answer 6

Its sounds like a bit of a SCAM.
sorry mate but are being taken for a ride, my mate had the same situation where she got close to a bloke who then told her his daughter needed an operation or she would die, but not being an idiot she didnt send any money- there are alot of un trusworth people on the internet who will get money any way they can, I suggest you dont contact her again, sorry this is hard to deal with but its a fact.
Its just one big scam!

Answer 7

This sounds like a scam, many of them originate in Nigeria.

Answer 8

Run, as fast as you can. You've only been in contact with her for a few weeks and you are already claiming it's love?? To top it off, you are sending her money???

Crazy.

Answer 9

It is a scam.. happens all the time. Dont send any more money.

Answer 10
