ERIC FRANSICS - NEW SCAMMER ????

Have just been contacted by this dude. Since I have been scammed, I fortunately am able to see signs of a scammer. Contacted me via Facebook telling me he viewed and loved my profile - and would love to get to know me better. Told me to contact him via Yahoo so we could chat. Herewith details I have managed to get until now:

Facebook profile ID 1359014889
Facebook name: Eric Fransics (strange spelling of this surname) - btw very easy to find on facebook - this is the only Eric Franscis there.
There is a pic on facebook, but I dont know how to post here.
Location: Yesterday - Texas, Today - Michigan City (and strangely mailing from Nigeria)
Yahoo ID: [email protected] (yeah right, torks (talks) money)
IP Address: 41.184.18.113 (Location : Nigeria)
Telephone No: 2348077007079 (I know this as a Nigerian number)

Yahoo conversation (from experience, I am convinced that this is another one of those Nigerian rats):

Yes, it is a scammer, people from Texas dont write like that.

I am sure one of our experts will provide more on this
