i just fell out with my girlfriend of a month. my girlfriend is american and she wanted me to send some money to her uncle in nebraska of the usa. her uncle means alot to her and he is a diabetic and needs to go into hospital. the problem is! i phoned the bank this morning and they said i have a fixed account, which is true. you see i was scammed back in september and they toke about £5000 and my girlfriend doesn't believe me. last night i was telling her, that i didn't know what a fixed account is. i did ask the bank about this and they said a fixed account, is an account that is tied to certain terms. i have a two year agreement with my bank and my money can only be used for emergencies. did i say the wrong thing to her. the main thing is! i can only access my money, when i really need it. i have a credit card, so i can still take small amounts from the cashpoint. my girlfriend has said she don't trust me and i keep on giving her stories. she is true! i have only known for a few week

Take her to the bank and ask them to explain it again to the both of you.

Most people who loan money to others never see it again. Never give out what you can't afford to loose. Another reason for not loaning money is that it causes most relationships to go sour.
What made her look at you like your the First National Bank of ??? You've only known her for a few weeks, she really has some brass tacks asking you for money this soon in your relationship.
You should find a new girlfriend one who isn't saying "what's in your wallet"? Honey, it's your money and you didn't do any thing wrong, as a matter a fact you did every thing just right.
Find your self another girl friend as this one doesn't sound very user friendly. She doesn't trust you, boy is she ever a piece of work. Move on, your too good for her.

NO respected girl would even ASK a boy she's only known for a few weeks for money to "help her uncle". Do NOT send money to anyone who says "my relative needs an operation...please help". My Aunt died of diabetic complications back in 1985 at the age of 33, there are several ways "her uncle" can recieve medical help from the USA Diabetic Association. If her uncle is with in the 150% of poverty in the USA he will qualify for free medical services at MOST hospitals. He needs to tell his financial problems to the hospital billing to find out what services may be FREE to him. Get this guys info & call for him!

Why are you trying to get scammed again? I doubt her uncle is real, she is probably having you send money to her boyfriend. She is not true she is a criminal and probably does not even live in the USA.
If he is really sick there are places he can go in the USA for help that are based on his income. Evey city has free clinics. They do not give the best care but They do give you help. By just knowing this you know she is lieing to you. Pulse if he means so much why cant she get a job to help him? Why is she going to a different country to find someone to bail her out? We do have lots of men here. You need to learn to think the story though.

You are going to get scammed again if you are not careful. This girl is not interested in you. She only wants your money. For heavens sake you have only known her for a month. This is not long enough to start handing out out thousands of pounds to her (probably non-existent) relatives. Get rid of her now. She is worthless.

Whoa, baby!!! You are about to be scammed again. Leave your money in the bank and under no circumstances give her your credit card number.

I wouldn't trust her. It really does sound like she's out to get your money and that she's not all that interested in you as a person. I reckon if you had managed to send that money, you wouldn't have seen her for dust.
Ditch her and keep your money intact. If she doesn't get it this way, she'll find another way to con it out of you from the sound of it. Harsh words, but it really doesn't sound good.

sorry but you have been going out for a month and wants you to send money to a realtive. I'm not sure if she thinks you are stupid or if you actually are. tell her to get lost - she is after a soft touch and is out to get whatever she can from you. Dump her and run like hell.
