The scammer is trying to explain why he cant receive money into his bank account, of course, he prefers to receive money by Western Union to make it easier to remain anonymous

I think you aware that I run USA bank account... and for what I gather here they can't access my account here and there is no way I can have my money out from it.. and they advise me that the best way here in this country is by you sending it to me via western union money transfer... or Money Gram.. that I will get it immediately you send it... That you'll need to send it to my info such as Full Names, Address, and Text Question and Answer.. then you get back to me with the sender info and the MTCN to be able to get it out immediately.

Removed name.. I promise to pay you back with interest as soon as the contract is over.

Here the infro you gonna send the money to via western union money transfer.

Name: Mary Anthony Williams
Address: 10 loop street dolphin estate
Country : Nigeria
zip code: 23401
Question: what is my daughter's name
Answer: Susan

The info is not mine.. it for the man I met in the bank where I went to consult them for enlightment on how best to recieve money from someone oversea and if I can access my account here... I decide to make use of his info, since he work at the bank... Please try and see reason with me.. and never eject the idea, cos when you send the money and give me the details back you use in sending the money to me.. i'll leave to the bank immediately with it and get it out instantly without leaving the info with him for even a min..

Thanks so much as you do this for me, and I really appreciate you for that, and as promised am gonna refund the money back to you as soon as the contract is over.

Your Wayno.


The name the scammer uses is most likely a name he has a fake ID for
by The Enchantress Thu Dec 17, 2009 1:48 pm
The scammer then quotes scripture to explain why the money needs to be wired.

They can't access an America bank account here in Nigeria... thats why they told me that the easier way I can get money from someone overseas is via western union money transfer or money gram. Don't miss understand me xxxxx...

I want to know if you love yourself, cos if you don't, you won't be able to love me your partner as well. That's why Jesus said " Love your neighboor as yourself." The truth of the matter is that you love yourself first before it is possible to love anyone else. Even the Apostle Peter said in Act3:6, "But such as I have give I unto you..." As a matter of fact Love is not just a feeling, it is a committment base on character and values. Love is characterized by a strong desire to give.

Mind you... Am not a convetousness type... So am going into relationship with base on love and trust we already have for each other... I implore you to have faith that one day we going to be together and live happily as one. don't look at the miles in between us, gaze at what the future holds for us.

Will be waiting to hear back from you soon.

Thanks

Still insisting on Western Union being the best way to receive money but he has now suggested teh second choice for scammers to receive money for their victims, "Moneygram", Moneygram also allows the scammer to remain completely anonymous, the only major difference is it can not be checked online

I know that this is the busiest time for you there likewise me also.. You are presuming that WU ques are huge, If only you can go to the bank early in the morning starting from 6.30am for me it will be light for you than going in the afternoon... Removed am not intending to say that, but after going back to the bank and ask them is there any way I can access my account here in Nigeria, that you are very busy to go to WU and WU is very far from you.. they ask me to tell you to make use of Money Gram then if WU is very far from you, and if that is far also... I don't have any other choice to open a domiciliary account with them... but their requirement I can't get straight away.. they where demanding for an Identity and it most be Nigerian Passport or Driver Licence, $100, and I most bring two guarantors who have been running their account for six months. before they can open the account for me here... Love where on earth you want me to get two guarantors and their Identity... anyway after making some consultations... I was promised to get a driver licence here, but that will cost me another $75.. and will still need the two gaurantors to stand for me... Hun am doing all I could to help you not to stress yourself just b'cos of me, but all prove to nothing...

I begin to blame myself coming down this country to put myself into this mess with Susan... Hun I promise you if you can help me by sending the money via WU or Money Gram... I'll do all in my possession to get the bank account open... If that will pleases you.


Hun there are no words to express how I feel about you. I constantly search for the words. and they all seem less than I truly feel. You are my life, my heart, and my soul. You are my best friend. You are my one true love. I think of you every day, and dream of you each night. My heart beats hard within my chest and I know we are meant to be.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, words cannot express how you make me feel. I make this promise to you my dear Removed , to love you the way that you love me. I look to the future and forget the past, your life is mine and we will make it last. I love you more today than I did yesterday, and I'll love you more tomorrow than I do today. With all my heart I am forever yours'

Love Alaways and Forever Removed .



In this email he is trying to convince his victim that his little "mishap" and his victim sending money will bring them closer together, just another trick to convince his victim to send him money

Thanks Removed for trying not to misunderstand me... Am not going to let you down.. I love to be your rock and your protector.. so much care about you that I can't stop myself thinking about you...
I admit it that am handling this situation all wrong, but when looking at it from my angle you will see that am not...
To be sincere Removed... I want to be your last and I know that situations like this do occure in a relationship, its make the relationship strong and steadfast.. I promise to be your light and source of happiness.

With Love Your Wayno.

I appreciate your concern towards me and Susan.. Hope one day we gonna be together and see how much I adore and love you.

You can tell by the previous emails that while scammers preference is Western Union, they will also receive money by Moneygram or even into a bank account.

Bank accounts are aquired in a couple of ways;

They may open it themselves in their real name, although this is rare.

They may encourage a victim to set up an account for them, this does happen a lot

They may set up a bank account using fake identification, this appears to be fairly common

They may use the bank account of a victim

They will borrow the bank account of an associate, in this case they may pay this associate a percentage.

Whichever way they aquire a bank account, it does take them a lot of time and resources which is why they are often reluctant to use them.
by Dotti Sat Dec 19, 2009 11:30 am
They may encourage a victim to set up an account for them, this does happen a lot
They may use the bank account of a victim


Just to expand a little bit on how another victim fits in...

These scammers generally have more than one scam in process at any point in time. They will be juggling several victims and maybe even multiple types of scams, and won't hesitate to use one victim to help them in their scam of another. It is important to realize that both victims may be completely innocent and unaware they are involved in a scam.

To make it easier, "Chris" will be the paying romance scam victim, and "Pat" will be the 2nd victim.

In what is probably the most common scenario, the romance scammer is using another romance victim to aid him in his scam. He has asked Chris for money, and Chris can't or won't use Western Union or Moneygram, but still can be convinced to do a bank to bank transfer. The scammer will tell Pat that he has a client, former business partner, or family member who owes him money--but he can't access his bank account so they can't transfer it to him. He asks Pat to accept Chris' money into his/her account, and then send the money to him using his preferred methods. Pat, who is in love with the scammer's character and thinks he/she is helping a future spouse with legitimate business, complies with this request, completely unaware that he/she is receiving money from another victim. In some cases, Pat is more convinced than ever that the scammer is real, because he didn't ask Pat for money and even appears to have a legitimate source of income.

In the 2nd most common scenario, the scammer is also running a job scam. Pat has been "hired" and believes he/she is a local representative whose job is processing payments for an overseas company. Pat may even be getting a 10% cut of Chris' money as his/her "salary." Again, he/she has no idea that the money is coming from a scam victim.

In a less common variation, the scammer may actually offer to take a personal check, and will use the same story to get Pat to cash a check from Chris and send the money.

^^ It should also be pointed out that most scammers have multiple identities, some male and some female so the victims may be scammed by the same scammer but different characters of that scammer.

Following on from the previous emails, the scammer has finnaly given a bank account to receive money

Removed Name... I have gotten one where you can put the money to for me... here is the info below...

Bank Account #: Removed account number
Bank Account Name: Removed account name

Love I hope you got that... Will be looking forward to hear back from you and love to know when you will be doing that and the amount you deposited.

Wayno Love you.


Some time later he sent this stolen verse

Hey Removed, I just wanted to do something simple to say I love you and to put that smile I love so much back on your face. I want everyone to know how much you mean to me. Ever since you have entered my life, I've been flying on Cloud 9 and I have not come down yet.

You are the most beautiful person I know, inside and out and I see that more clearly with each passing day. I love everything about you, about us. You do something to me that no other has, you have made me so happy, the happiest I've ever been. You give me the most amazing feelings inside, the feeling of being in love with you.

I still don't know what I did to be so lucky to have you in my life, my dream come true... I am so thankful though. In this short time that we've been together, we have grown so much and I can't wait to see what the future holds for us. I love you, removed name, with all my heart and soul, always and forever!

Love always.

It is extremely unusual for scammers to actually write their own poetry, this following attempt at writing a poem shows why,

My heart I can't stop myself reading the poem all over again to show you how much I wish to be there and experience the same thing as you do my Princess..

Hun I most confess also am getting urges too here, but being a man I gat to control myself... I thank God Almighty that you open up to me here... I really appreciate that from you, cos an open communication do a lot of good in a relationship like this... Hun I've been thinking if I can come along with Susan to drop her with you and spend some few days together with you this Christmas before leaving back to continue this contract of mine, but for what I can see the ticket fare will be too much on you, so I don't wanna bother you for that, but if you so much love that just let me know, and include the money to the one you sending tomorrow morning so that I can get it here and book the flight ticket immediately.

Here I don't have poem to write about, but am gonna try and see what I can make up for you my Removed name
Twas a very cool day when I got to read from you
after thinking of you all day long
to my surprise you came up with better idea

Removed name you turn my world around
You're truly God sent to me
and will are meant for each other
have already be ordain from heaven above

You make Susan and I very happy
restore back our lost happiness
you the reason am living

Removed name you don't know how much I so adore you
cherish you like my new born baby
you are my most cherish treasure
Most valuable precious stone
very expensive and that is rare to get

I admire you so much my sweetheart.
You came by when my whole world is about to crumble
to save my life and Susan too
you've improve my life positively

I hope you liked how i made it a poem
and can wait for when you finally come home also
Removed name I don't think am good at that.

Please accept my poem as you sees it, cos am not too good at that... Hope you find them interesting.

Your Wayno


A happy Life is not about finding the right partner but how long you can hang on to your partner till the very last end, True love is not about how you love your partner in the beginning but how much love you can endure till the very last end, Yesterday is gone, no one knows tomorrow, but today is a gift that is why it’s called the PRESENT. To love is divine and to error is human, life is full of ups and downs, strength in each other will determine life for a true couple. Be loyal, loving, playful, curious, very romantic and full of life. Value honesty, faith and communication. You should be very affectionate and love romance ( do try kiss and cuddle). believe in chemistry and love on first site as well, appreciate intelligence of your partner and always respect his views and decisions..

About my day today; it’s been quite boring though I didn't have much doing after I returned from the bank this morning, I’ve been spending time all alone with Susan watching a movie I got from the Library.

I didn't have much to do after eating, so I thought it wise to check out my mail and its good you make time to write back. I still look up to seeing some photos of how good looking you are and I sure will appreciate if we can chat online.

It’s really a great pain spending this time of my life all alone, after all the toiling and suffering just to get ourselves a career and to have a soul ground or foundation to live our life on. As I do believe what we are left to seek in our life is marriage.

Just this wonderful man who would remain sincere and honest to you, would always be there and to show love and compassion when ever it’s needed and to edge you on in the difficult times. I see marriage as a very important issue as it’s from God. Marriage makes an incomplete human being a complete one. It makes him/her a grown up and gives him/her responsibilities whether those responsibilities are to feed and clothe the wife or to assist the husband. Marriage is supposed to take a person out of the hectic lifestyle that one is in and place him or her in an organized environment giving them a path to follow in life and a shoulder to lean on.

xxxxx.. You really have won my heart and am ready to do all I could to see the success of this relationship.. Cheer

Hello My Removed name ... How you doing today and your family?

I need to hear back from you soon.
by Ralph Mon Dec 28, 2009 8:21 pm
The loving emails continue;

There are no words to express how I feel about you. I constantly search for the words, and they all seem less than I truly feel. You are my life, my heart, and my soul. You are my best friend. You are my one true love.

I still remember the day I saw your profile. I knew that you were the one I was meant to be with forever. I thought of you every day, and dreamed of you each night. Just when I thought you had forgotten me, you would email and make all my dreams seem real. I hope one day you give me a kiss on my neck, and told me that you love me a lot.

My heart was beating hard within my chest. My hand was shaking and I could barely breathe. Then you came out from no where to see me and I knew it was meant to be. I had to be near you, lying on your chest. I need to show you, that you were the best. So I made the decision to tell you how I feel. When you said you felt the same, I felt it was a dream. I am on a cloud, living in a dream, and a few days from now, it will really feel real.

I wrote this letter for you to keep, and when you need a reminder of how I feel. I've said it before and I'll say it again, words cannot express how you make me feel. I make this promise to you my darling, to love you the way that you love me. I now look to the future and forget the past, your life is mine and we will make it last. I love you more today than I did yesterday, and I'll love you more tomorrow than I do today. With all my heart I am forever yours.

Love Always,


Shortly after came this email, asking again for a phone number

Removed name... You surprise me and prove to me that you are my God sent... I couldn't have guess that you sent me that amount... Hun it really sucks that I couldn't get the money and Susan is still mad at me cos she blame me for that... But I do believe that the money was picked while tracking it online..

Removed name I need to talk to you over the phone maybe Susan can also talk to you too... cos she is seriously mad at me that I didn't fulfill my promised that she will be celebrating this Xmas with you there and couldn't understand me... Please I want you to call me and assure her that you gonna make her happy again and make sure she gonna celebrate this new year with you... I think you understand how little kids think...

Hope you still have the account details I sent to you.? and I will be waiting to hear back from you soon... more so will love you give me your cell phone number, so that when you couldn't reply back to my email.. I will then txt you and know what is happening with you, cos I can't stand missing you my darling Angel..

Your Wayno.

Further mails to try to convince his victim how desperately he needs money.

Oh Removed... After telling Susan what I read from you.. that you said we should quickely arrange for her getting to England.. she is so happy and can't wait to know the exact day she will be leaving this country.... Removed please tell me when you will be sending me money to book for ticket flight for her and I...

Susan I've been very lonely here whenever am off to the construction ground, cos I can't take her along, and am usually off 7am and return 6pm.. She always be lonely for 11 hours with the hotel manager which she is uncomfortable with, and there are no kids to play with here... So Sweetcheeks I think you now understand why she is so eager to be with you, cos she know that she will have to meet new friends to play with and you gonna be there for her too.

Removed.. I love to have you in my arms also, kiss you, caress you, and make love with you.
talk althrough the night holding each other tight.. and meeting your friends and family if you don't mind..

Can't wait to read back from you soon my darling angel.

After being offered flights to The UK, the scammer comes up with excuses why he needs to organise his own flights

Oh Removed.. thats sound great... but am objecting to that right now.. I won't allow you to come with the jet and picked her up from here... trust me I will love to book for the ticket flight for her here and get her down there.. cos I don't wanna stress you on that... I know that its a great honor and I love to fly with you when am there not you coming down here and picked us up okay... So kindly get us sorted with some money... its not neccessary you send the same amount you sent the other time... if you can send 3000+ to me it will be up and nice... then we can be there before the jet is done to fly.. and fly the sky around england and scotland or whereever you wish to fly with us..

I love you so much Removed.. and will love you heed to my idea..

Your Wayno


Yeah...Am so glad reading back from you as regard my come over to England...

Sure I sincerely welcome your honor by giving an option of coming through a private Jet, but I have some factors that may not make this augur well.

First is timing, cost and urge to meet you soon.... As you know that the cost for the terminal where the jet will be landing is very expensive and including some taxes... even am out of funds here to feeds on and that is getting me thinking on how to feed Susan the most important before thinking of me and am not concentrating on my project here... the cost of their living here is very expensive here... Sweetcheeks you have to consider all this and send me money to book for flight ticket to make the trip down there with you possible, so that I can concentrate on my project without thinking of how to feed Susan... You can deposit it to the bank account I get for you the other time and tell me how much you deposited... Hope you still have the details..?


If I had just one night to live, I'd live it in your arms, for you hold all my joy, happiness and desires... Can't wait to be in your arms Removed..

Your Wayno
