Have not heard of Nigerian Fraud & Scam online cases? This is one of those. The person whom you think is a lady is a some Nigerian man doing so by sending you photos of an African lady & extracting money from you. I get many such Nigerian scam mails with regard to employment, business proposal, cash transfer, lottery winning amount claim & even marriage proposal. Not only me but most of the yahoo members must have experienced such mails in their inbox & bulk box daily. All these are biggest on line scam being conducted by few Nigerian people, few of them even caught by the local police in India & reported in the press about their activities. So next time this person send you any mail just report it as scam to the website provider where you get such mail & avoid any further correspondence with this person.

NOT AT ALL, In fact when I was using the personals all the same guys were in all the sites, all of them, so it must be normal..I have been in a couple at a time but I suggest even better if you dont already have one, make a MYSPACE page, tweak up your page cool, post some pics and start looking for girls your age and distance in there, ask to add as friends... start gettin to know them and meet.. I was in your same boat a few months ago... bored with the personals... I made a myspace just to check it out, something to do, it ended up being very addicting.. I met a few guys, had some dates and am constantly invited to events and parties ... not to mention it is so fun always working on your page... luckily tho i also met someone finally from the personals and he is absolutely awesome... we are going strong...but the myspace kept me entertained till then.. good luck, check it out it works..

my friend you don't know if she (the girl you are talking about) is really a female or a male. secondly i am on net from past 5-6 years and have experience and have seen many cases of fake love and fraud..
They always say that to get you a visa they have to spend money and that you have to send as soon as possible..
Buddy you have not met the girl personally and has just seen her in pics..those pics can be of anyone (may be he's a guy using some model pictures or a relative of him)
So its better to ask that girl to spend her money and you will pay her on arrival.If she trusts you and have belief in you that you can repay her money she might spend money for your permit..
But before taking any step just be cautious because money once gone won't get refund back !

You are being scamed and cheated, if you go to Africa you will be put to all kinds of torture you cant imagine and made to cough up all your money. Dont trust people who ask you for money on the internet especially from Africa. Your life is more precious then some internet gamble with a girl you have never met. THIS IS A FRAUD, BEWARE.

Rule No. 1 on Internet Chat and/or Dating Sites...........Avoid Like the Plague anyone who asks for money!!!
Unless and until you have enough common sense to know when you are being conned out of your money, stay off dating sites and go out and meet real girls! For all you know you could be "dating" a 30 year old male convict with a history of internet fraud!

One cannot trust people in dating sites.Who knows what is their real intention.There are many people who get cheated like this.Did you read one such incident in a paper that had come few days back?It was a case of a man in chennai who is a software engineer,cheated many women.He used to meet all these women through dating sites & also from matrimonial site.He even married four women cheating like this.He even took their money.There were many such incident that happened.So think before you give that money.Dont get cheated .

Don't believe anything in Internet. This person [who may not be a lady] tries to extarct money from you. If you give her the money she asked, then you are ****ed, that is all.
After all what is your interest in marrying an african girl ? Is she beautiful ?, rich ?, educated ?, or with connections ? I can't believe you fully. This situation may be imaginary, I suppose.

oooh I would not trust anyone over the internet. You need to be safe. How do you know you can trust her with the money? There are so many scams and people get taken for their money every day. I wouldn't do it. † -God Bless!

No. no one speaks the truth on the Net.
Except me. Otherwise I would present me here as a 22 year old volcanic girl.
