This is a coy of the latest romance scam coming out of Algeria. It about the 15th letter I've recieved after sending back just as many after now realising whats going. They are so persistent. I realised the scam about 8 letters ago and told 'her' to go jump. Then 'she' wrote back really annoy that i didnt believe her and that she is so real. So I kept up the conversations anyway. I am supposed to send $300 to Western Union in Nigeria so she can get a taxi to the airport to come 'back home' to be with me...? :) Crickey's its a bit scary but very interesting reading. What people will do to get your money is just amazing.. Watch out guys!. Eddie.
PS. I think she even forgot my name after 15 letters back and forth :)

Hello Dear

How are you doing and how was your meal now ,did you eat now , I'm happy that you can keep secret and I'v been looking for a way to email you before cos i have some important issue to discuss with you on here and thank God i have a chance to narrate it to you on here and i hope you will understand me very well ,Like i told you about my father before his death and the inheritance he get for me , if you can still recollect what i told you sometime ago that I was down here for modeling stuff to make money purpose to get my father inheritance from the security company..I have to let you know that i have a email from Bahamas that i lost my mother, So your the only one i have left now..

I think i have to explain things to you now so you can understand well about what i mean in that part,My father works with Contractors in Utah and Africa include some parts of the Asian and US and Germany before his death , I work with my father as his personal auditor before his death and we move around for his contracts wherever he is awarded , then before his death .I have try my best to get some money before coming down here ,but i could not get the money but unfortunately i was just searching the house and i got some documents of some money belonging to my father that was with a security company in West Africa and he told me about this before but i forgot, since I need money for myself and there is no help from any were i just have to come down here for the money and for the modeling stuff maybe i can be able to pay for the security fee and get the money , ...

On getting here the went straight to the company and the manager of the company told me that my dad his owing them some fees which he suppose to be paying monthly,but hes not been paying that for the past two years that was since his death and now the security company is insisting that the boxes can not be release to me until i pay the bills and my dad gave an instruction to the company that the boxes should not be release to me until i get married or until i was 30 years of age and i think you know my age now and i never clock 30 years and i need my inheritance now , thank God i have you as my future man who is there for me , I try to contact the security company these days and the manager told me that only if an elderly person come with me then the Inheritance can be release to me but i told the manager that i came all the way down from Bahmian to here that there is no one that can come here with me and i told him about the sickness of my mother but now she's dead which really make me cry always on here ,He said that is the only option he have for me but i told him that but if i should get an elder person involve in this but the person can not come here and the manager said he can only allow that if the person will identify his self as my fiance and thank God your my future husband ,now how can you help me with this, cos i really need the money cos i don't want to loose, its my hope in life and i can use it to established some job when i get there to meet you in person..But I'm hiding up from people on here where I stayed here in Ibadan, because i might got setup if they know i have such huge amount of money ( $.9 millionDollar ) on my name save somewhere at the security company . So for me to be more safe and secure, my father put this money in a box and got it locked up with a security code known to me only.. My father deposited the box with some of my traveling luggages with a Security and Insurance Company who render private diplomatic delivery service and i told them that the two boxes are my traveling luggage, which I want to send forth to You because I'm returning home, then i paid them up their custody and security fee. So, I want the box sent to you over there as i will like to relocate to a nice man who will always care for me and honest with me have our own children and live happy together for the rest of our life while i catch up with you as soon as it is been delivered to you while I pay you up your Rent charge and a reasonable amount for compensation, only 15% of the money in the box to you.

Every arrangement for the delivery is perfect, I have obtained customs papers for private freight and there are seals on the box showing that it is a private delivery and check performed, it is free from customs checks, it will be delivered at your door step by the diplomats of the security company, you do not need to burn out to receive it.And the boxes have security codes lock known to me only, only me can open the boxes, except if I tell anyone the Code, so the Boxes cannot be opened on the Way of delivery to you.

Therefore, I want you to contact me as soon as possible,so that i can give you the security company contact information for you to contact them so that you can make the Clearance from the Security Company as the Recipient of my Boxes. And once the box gets, I will be there with you, then we can open the box together or i will tell you the code to open it, so that you can arrange everything properly before my arrival. Like I said, I will pay for your rent and fulfill my 15% promise of the money to you.

I will appreciate your trust towards this and hoping to hear from you and to meet you in person.

Thanks.

Welcome to ScamWarners eagledancer. What you have posted up is fairly common exchange.

What would help us and others who might fall for the scam is for you to include the email address the scammers uses and the name they used.

Also if you can post the headers that is helpful too.

By continuing to write to the scammer knowing they are a scammer is what is known as scam baiting. We do not teach that here and we discourage using your real email address to bait from. If you would like to know more about baiting, visit www.419eater.com

PS This "she" is most likely a he posing as a "she". :evil:

I was scammed by this woman in nigeria too but I didn't send her the money, she said her name was Faith Carpenter. And she tried to get me to use Western Union to send her money so she could come to live with me.

Welcome to ScamWarners, clayy. I'm glad to hear that you figured out the scam and didn't send money to the scammer.
The scammer who was writing to you is most likely not actually a "she" even though claiming to be female. Most scammers are males, whether posing as male or female.

Please start a new topic and post early emails and information you have on this scammer so that it will show up in searches and help others. Let us know if you have questions about posting information or about the scam.

Have you sent a payment to a scammer with Western Union and now realize it's a scam? If the payment has not been picked up, you can cancel it immediately! 1-800-448-1492
